WORKSHOP || Finding Beauty in the Mess: a Chris Small Art abstract painting workshop

  • Fleurieu Arthouse 202 Main Road McLaren Vale Australia (map)

Chris Small will step you through 2 Saturdays of a playful experiment of creating a mess of shapes and colour on canvas using different mediums. On the first Saturday we will explore the natural space around the Fleurieu Arthouse to warm up, slow down and notice the surrounds and then return to the workshop space to play with paint! The second Saturday will be blocking out to find the beautiful parts inside the mess - a bit like life is really! We will stay in the moment and focus on the process, and get lost in the colour and feel of the paint. Chris will be there to gently encourage you through any fear and uncertainty until you find your confidence - if you need it!

It's great if you have some painting experience, but if not its OK because this is a very relaxed and organic kind of workshop. The aim is to play, to experiment and to walk away feeling like you have taken a big deep breath and forgotten about any stress for a few hours.

Chris will provide the paints, the canvas, and some aprons, but make sure you wear clothes you don't mind getting messy. Leave those high heels at home! If it's hot bring a hat for outside activity. There will be water provided and you and you can purchase coffee and treats at the Fleurieu Arthouse Coffee Shop.

Chris has set the number of participants at 6, so if people are interested she has set a wait list and if there are enough people interested she will put on more workshops.

Feel free to email chris at chrissmallart@gmail or via my website contact page for any questions. I will send you my contact details once you have sent me an email.
