Intuitive Drawing and Painting Workshop

Join Ella for a playful painting workshop in her studio at Montsalvat Artist Community. This session invites you to explore painting and drawing through curiosity and experimentation in a warm and supportive environment.

Be gently guided through a series of creative exercises, encouraging you to approach painting and drawing in a relaxed, intuitive way. Using your senses and curiosity, allow unexpected and expressive artworks to emerge. You’ll explore mark-making with watercolour and mixed materials, experimenting with simple techniques to create texture and variety. Along the way, you’ll be encouraged to embrace spontaneity and let go of perfection. By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a collection of small, original artworks, along with simple ideas and exercises to continue your creative practice at home.

This workshop is for anyone wanting to nourish their creativity in a supportive and relaxed space. No experience needed, just openness and a willingness to explore.

All materials included.

If you have any questions, feel free to email Ella at ellarubyraindrops@gmail.com
