Creative Minds – My Safe Place
This mixed media painting workshop is called “My Safe Place”. In every session, participants start by learning how to make imaginary houses using basic perspective tricks.
Once they’ve got that down, they start painting the houses using watercolour/acrylic paints. Then, they add cool patterns and nature designs to their paintings with markers.
Picture this: colourful houses with cool designs and touches of nature, like flowers or trees. Each house becomes a unique story waiting to be told, turning a blank surface into a lively, imaginative safe place. It’s all about having a blast while creating your own special piece of art!
Dates: Tuesdays Mar 5, Mar 12, Mar 19, Mar 26, & Apr 2, Apr 9, Apr 16
