Whether someone is new to painting or an experienced artist seeking fresh inspiration and connections, this workshop invites exploration with ease and encouragement. The fastest way to ignite creativity is to loosen up and PLAY!
In this workshop, Nikole Peacock will guide participants in creating intriguing textures, marks, and layers using unconventional tools and abstract techniques. This approach quiets the inner critic, as there are no rules, no pressure, and no mistakes. Unlike traditional classes where everyone paints the same thing, this workshop offers freedom—participants can choose their favorite colors and follow their curiosity wherever it leads. The focus is on relaxing, letting go of expectations, and enjoying the process.
Nikole Peacock, a mixed-media artist, photographer, nature enthusiast, and creative guide, will lead the way. Together, participants will engage in messy experiments, uncover delightful surprises, and feel the uplifting energy that comes from creating art with others.
DETAILS:
All supplies will be provided: water-based paints, inks, pens, brushes, paper, art boards, canvases and spray bottles. We will have palette knives, scrapers, sticks, string, bubblewrap, spatulas, kitchen utensils, and many more fun items to work with. If possible, please bring a hair-dryer (to dry paint faster) and clothing you don’t mind getting splattered. Of course, you are welcome to bring any paints, brushes, and mark-making tools of your own. If there’s a kitchen utensil or odd item you think may be interesting to paint with, I encourage you to give it a whirl!
