HOW WILL LEARNING ART TRANSFORM MY LIFE?
Art can transform your life in many ways. Creativity into the perfect antidote to the stresses of everyday modern life: an opportunity to unwind and focus on living in the present. In that way, it’s an ideal form of meditation and great for mindfulness! You’ll find positivity and happiness in learning to express yourself with colour.
When students decide to join my classes, they often report that they find a greater purpose, feel a deeper sense of wellbeing and accomplishment, and have a chance to finally express their true selves.
Often, this is their first time experiencing the right side of their brain, the intuitive, playful and creative side. Creating art can help open your eyes to the colours, textures, shapes and possibilities around you, and you’ll find that you appreciate the beauty in your everyday life and the world so much more.
HOW DO YOU SPECIFICALLY ENCOURAGE MY ARTISTIC INDEPENDENCE?
My teaching methods focus on encouraging students to gain confidence and nurture their style as an individual artist. Each student is on a journey of self-discovery. I always encourage my students to go behind ‘creating a clone’ of my work and instead help them find ways to fall in love with their own subjects.
They can then borrow my advanced watercolour techniques to bring their unique vision to life. In my classes, you’ll learn how to perceive the world as an artist and create something that reflects your distinct perspective. Your art will be a unique reflection of you!
