PAINT IN AN ARTIST'S STUDIO

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS CLASS?

'Creativity is intelligence having fun' - Albert Einstein

The Class

These classes are aimed at anyone - individuals, couples, friends, - who would like to get creative but lacks either the space, materials or motivation to get started.

Whether you want to paint a picture for your wall, make something for a friend, replicate a famous work or just reconnect with your creative side, this is a space you can do just that. Each month there will be a loose theme to help you find inspiration, and you will receive an email with some more information around this theme before your class. Don't worry, if you already have an idea that's fine too.

The class is suitable for any level, from complete beginners to more experienced artists: the maximum class size is four so Rob is able to guide you accordingly to suit your needs. No need to feel nervous or intimidated by the idea of painting in front of people - this is a non-judgemental space and it's mostly about having fun!

How does it work?

On arrival, Rob will set you up with materials and equipment and you can chat about your ideas, or discuss the loose theme that he has prepared. Then you can get stuck into your piece. Rob will talk you through the process of building texture, colour mixing, mark-making and learning how to construct a good composition. He will guide you through the process of creating your personal artwork, with teaching tips along the way. Rob will encourage detachment from the inner perfectionist that tells us we should be ‘good’ (make something technically skilled or aesthetically perfect), and instead just enjoy the process and find flow.

Creativity is proven to decrease anxiety, decrease your heart rate, boost mood and regulate the nervous system - and being in Rob’s studio is the perfect petri dish to breed creative ideas.

You will leave with a sense of clarity, creativity and calm, setting you up for a balanced and fulfilling week ahead.
