Go With the Flow: An Expressive Painting Experience

Join Vanessa Clark Artist, known for her neon and abstract expressionist paintings, for a full-day Abstract Painting & Flow workshop, a space to let go, play, and explore your creativity without expectations. This class is all about freedom, expression, and embracing the process, rather than focusing on the final outcome.

Through guided exercises, you'll learn to loosen up, trust your instincts, and enjoy the movement of paint, allowing colors, textures, and shapes to emerge naturally. Whether you're an experienced artist or a complete beginner, this is a relaxed and welcoming space where you can release stress, reconnect with yourself, and find joy in the act of creating.This isn’t your typical painting class. There’s no “paint by numbers” or copying someone else’s style here. Instead, we’ll do things differently:

🎨 We’ll paint with freedom! The most important tool isn’t the brush—it’s our mindset. We’ll break free from limitations and let creativity lead the way.

🎶 We’ll paint intuitively! Responding to music, we’ll allow the paint to unfold naturally—layering colors, patterns, marks, and textures to create expressive, one-of-a-kind artwork.

🖌️ We’ll go big! Bold movements, fearless color choices, and even painting with our hands! The goal is to let go of expectations and embrace spontaneity.

🖐️ We’ll get messy! This isn’t about making something “pretty” or perfect. It’s a rare chance to experiment with a mix of materials—acrylics, watercolors, pastels, chalk—freeing our inner artist in a relaxed, judgment-free space.

🛠️ We’ll get inventive! Who says brushes are the only tools? We’ll use everyday objects—squeegees, credit cards, bubble wrap, feathers, forks—anything to unlock creative possibilities and reimagine what painting can be.

✨ We’ll break through creative blocks! This expressive, free-flow painting style helps release self-doubt, perfectionism, and creative fears, guiding us into a joyful, uninhibited state of making.

💖 We’ll connect with ourselves! By opening our minds and listening to our hearts, we’ll create from a place of true self-expression, reconnecting with our inner child and embracing the joy of artistic freedom.
