Intuitive Art Workshop with Lisa Lochhead- Saturday 5th April

Saturday 5th April 10:30- 1.30pm

The Seeds of Potential

INTUITIVE ART WORKSHOP

In this intuitive art workshop, you will create a piece of art exploring a theme that embraces the energies of Spring Equinox. The theme for this 3-hour Intuitive Mixed Media Art workshop is ‘The Seeds of Potential’.

At Spring Equinox, the pure potential of the rising life force is fully awakened from its winters sleep. You can see this rising vital force starting to burst into life all around you in nature. You also start to feel the potential in life calling you forward. Your possibilities and inspirations can start to make themselves clearer. The fire of your creative potential in life gets stoked.

During this workshop we will tap into the rising creative energies through exploring the energy of spring and engaging the creative process as a meditative reflection process. Laying down paint and mixed media intuitively and rest into enjoying, moving, and playing with your paint. The session starts with a small-guided meditation practice – so you can approach the creative process from a place of stillness and rest. You then move into working on building layers of flow and curiosity with images, quotes, textures, and acrylic paint as you connect to the Seeds of Potential that spring is gifting to you.

Using your fingers, brushes, colour, creating and dissolving form you will learn how to express creatively without using the mind to judge what the outcome will be or what to do next. There is guidance, technique and prompts throughout the session to keep the thread of the theme ‘The Seeds of Potential’ evolving as you create. This approach allows a dialogue with your intuitive nature to open as you relax into the creative process. A communication opens that informs and inspires the piece being created and enables you to bring forward in your art piece a message of The Seeds of Potential that are opening within you. Making each participant’s piece unique and full of meaning and reflection.

Not only will you leave the session with a beautiful piece of artwork that is meaningful to you but also a depth of creative nourishment and enhanced well-being.
