Begin developing your own style in life – just like on the canvas. Easy, fun painting techniques and demos are included.
Too often we want to be experts, which usually means criticism of ourselves and others. Make time to reconnect with what matters most. Feel rejuvenated while building foundations for a better self.
The content is group-specific and can be formal or not. Groups of 4 minimum. No art experience is needed.
“I attended Louise’s painting workshop to reconnect with an ongoing inner desire to create art. It was exactly what I needed, a full day of exploring colours, shapes, and methods… The experience allowed me to embrace a part of me I had been ignoring for years and to discover how I express myself through paint.
I would recommend this workshop to anyone who feels the need to make art and connect to nature.”
