What to look for when buying paints and other art supplies

This would not be complete if we didn't address mindset. This workshop is a judgement-free zone and we'll talk about how to quiet that talkative inner critic who may have opinions about your art journey.

*All art supplies will be provided, including a wide selection of professional quality paints, markers, gel pens and more. This will give you a chance to play with supplies and decide which you like best before investing in your own.

This workshop is perfect for you if:

- You have an itch to create but don't know where to start.- You love the idea of painting flowers, and want some guidance to get you going.

- You have some art experience and want to expand your horizons.- You like to doodle or colour in adult colouring books and want to take things to the next level.- You like the idea of art as a meditative practice.

W e start with 4 simple flowers and 4 simple leaves. From there, we explore variations and compositions to create an unlimited amount of beautiful artworks.

* Includes all supplies and a mini-book to take home!
