Three curated art activities

Art does not have to be messy or labour intensive. 

I have curated three popular art activities and simplified the techniques and tools needed so that they are quick and easy to complete in a short amount of time, relatively mess free yet satisfying enough for passionate creatives

Mindful Colouring

With colouring you don’t need any fancy tools, a degree in art or a stocked-up craft room. You just need to pick up a set of colouring pencils a colouring book and get colouring. Colouring has the ability to relax the fear centre of the brain and create a quietness similar to meditation which allows the brain to rest after a stressful day.

We all know how to colour, we did it when we were kids, so it is familiar and not intimidating.

During the colouring class you will learn a few mindful colouring techniques that will enable you to rest and reset a restless mind so that your colouring session is beneficial and stress relieving.

Abstract Watercolour

Painting with watercolours is a great way to relax and de-stress. Painting can be very calming and therapeutic, making it the perfect activity to do when you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed out.

Watercolour paint is very simple to set up and clean-up, has a quick drying time and works well with other art mediums making it very versatile.

During the Abstract Watercolour class, you will be introduced to process-art. Learn how to slow down and enjoy the flowing nature of the medium. Abstract Watercolour will help you develop your creativity and improve your self-confidence.

Art Journaling

An art journal is the same as a written journal except that it incorporates colour, images and patterns. Some art journals contain lots of writing while others focus more on images and colour.

Art Journaling is about exploring art materials and techniques and enjoying the process of creating without worrying about the final product.  It’s a playful way to express your feelings, unwind and relax while being creative.

During the art journal class, you will learn how to experiment with different art mediums and explore various art techniques. Art Journaling is a great way to reduce stress and encourage creativity.
