Into the myst

49,00

Do you love all things mystical and magical?

This was one of my very first workshops created, and it was such a magical experience!

I am eager to share my amazing journey with you on how I discovered this rewarding method of painting – ultimately by trusting my intuition and imagination!

I have always been a nature lover and adore animals. I had longed to put my visions and dreams onto canvas but until a few years ago, I had no idea how to go about it!

Through self-discovery, hardships and lots of practice, I have found the key methods to unlock this mystery! To reveal on canvas, what we can’t express in words –  is a true joy and allows us to tell our own story and share our hearts.

I can’t wait to be your guide and I do hope you will follow me “Into the Myst” on your own journey of creative self-discovery, finding your voice and celebrating the magic you have within!

 


HERE’S A DESCRIPTION OF EACH PROJECT

PROJECT 1 – DISCOVER

In our first project, we will discover more about ourselves, what our spirit animal is, what stories we have to tell, and what symbols speak to us. I will be assigning some homework exercises to explore this.

After gathering this information, we will create a watercolor painting and create a story the viewer can discover for themselves. I will show you how to create intricate pattern and beauty with line work using ink pen, plus you will learn my techniques for shading and successful color combinations with watercolors.


PROJECT 2 – IMAGINE

In our second project, will be stretching our imagination further and gaining inspiration from walks in nature. The natural beauty we witness, will assist us in creating a rich and beautiful background. We will be using watercolor to create translucent glazes while building contrast with shadows and light.

The portrait subject will be a fairy or an elf, painted with acrylics and other mixed media. I can’t wait to show you how I build up luminous skin tones and create my favorite “glow effect”! You are going to love the process!


PROJECT 3 – DREAM

In our third and final project, we will rediscover what interested us as a child – what we loved to imagine and dream before we became adults! We get to revel in remembering those fanciful and fantastic imaginary worlds!

I will have some more explorative homework assignments to keep your intuitive flame burning!

We will walk in the magic of those childhood dreams and create a scene with mixed media, telling a whimsical story with magical creatures of our own fantasy. Here, the more imaginative the better – from dryads to centaurs, pixies to elf queens, fairies or dragons, unicorns or mermaids, or really whatever inspires you!

It will be such a delight to let our imagination run away with us, even for just a few hours!
