Have you ever felt that raw, rebellious urge to splash color onto a canvas, but a tiny voice of self-doubt holds you back? We believe the most brilliant artist you'll ever be is the fearless **inner child** still alive within you. This immersive workshop is designed for adults seeking to reconnect with that pure, joyous spirit of creation. We know the struggle of one-sided learning—spending hundreds on celebrity-led video clips only to be left with burning questions and no community interaction. Artistry dies in isolation! **DreamWriterPoet** was created to shatter that barrier. This isn't a passive video library; it's a **living, breathing studio** where every participant is an active alchemist. We offer a fair cost, genuine peer critique, and a commitment to absorb information because the dynamic is open and fun. Here, accountability is built-in, and your voice is the most valued instrument in the room. Stop "winging it" and master the powerful P's: Planning and Practice! Our interactive sessions provide the structured support, community encouragement, and focused technique needed to forge skill with soul. We trade hesitation for **deliberate action**, ensuring your creative journey is both profound and successful. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned painter looking for fresh inspiration, this is your canvas for mastery. A comprehensive task list covering planning, promotion, execution, and post-workshop follow-up.
3 hour Workshops; 1 additional hour social and refreshment time.
Art in the park enviornments. I'll provide Art supplies and Refreshments. But true I'm just starting out. My mission is community and so community, help me out, pack it in and pack it out. Bring blankets (I'll bring painting plastic), foldable tables and chairs, water and aprons are advisble. No donations needed thank you. We will make our own envionment a collective one.
Ms. E and I will be teaching classes. She is educated in Art and Education. Her formal training intertwined with her own flare of realsm and abstract compliments my life is good approach having learned from classes I've attended, mentors and my own spin on Art. Vibrant colors and texturing are my favorites. I've also learned from the best painter in the world Bob Ross.
Acrylic Painting: Highly versatile, fast-drying, water-based, and easy to clean up. It's a popular choice for "paint-and-sip" style events and works on various surfaces, including canvas.
Watercolor Painting: Extremely portable with minimal required equipment (just water, paints, and paper). It's great for capturing nature scenes and landscapes, though controlling water flow requires a bit of practice.
Gouache: A water-based medium like watercolor, but it dries opaque like acrylic, offering a nice middle ground for bold, flat colors.
Sketching and Drawing: Simple and low-mess options using pencils, pens, charcoal, or graphite sticks. Participants can focus on observing nature, practicing line work, or trying shadow drawing exercises.
Pastels (Chalk and Oil): Portable, vibrant, and tactile, requiring no water or brushes. They can be a little messy, but cleanup is simple, making them a fun, low-pressure option for beginners.
Plein Air Oil Painting (Water-Mixable): For a more traditional "plein air" experience, water-mixable oil paints offer the richness of oils without the need for toxic solvents for cleanup.
Nature-Based & Craft Arts
Textures: Nature Collages and Sculptures: Participants can collect natural materials found in the park (leaves, twigs, dirt, flowers) to create temporary sculptures or collages on paper.
Nature Printing: Using collected natural items like leaves or flowers to create prints on paper or fabric using watercolor or block printing ink.
Botanical Art: Focusing on detailed studies of plant life using various drawing or painting mediums.
Writing & Poetry: A non-visual art form that uses the park setting for inspiration for creative writing, screenwriting, or poetry workshops.
Portability: Choose mediums and equipment that are easy to transport to and from the park.
Cleanup: Opt for water-based or dry mediums to ensure easy, minimal cleanup without special solvents.
Weather Conditions: Be mindful of wind (which can quickly dry acrylics or blow lightweight materials) and humidity (which can affect watercolor drying times).
Surfaces: Paved areas work well for sidewalk chalk, while tables and easels are needed for other mediums.
P's—planning and practice—because winging it probably won’t cut it. Your upfront preparation will pay off in the long run. From captivating sign-ups to running a seamless event. The cleanup and feedback loop that fuels future success.
