Painting Workshop - Exploring Colour and Gesture
Here, it’s not a class, it’s an experience.
A pause to breathe, feel, dare.
I welcome you into my Artist studio in Ericeira, where all materials are provided.
You choose your colours, you draw, cover, splash, mix.
No aesthetic expectation, no model. Every gesture is a discovery.
Why painting
Spontaneity, freedom, the energy of gesture. You don’t come to “paint well”, you come to live a sensitive experience.
Goal of the session: not to “make an artwork”, but to live an intuitive and creative experience — to paint freely, without pressure, and leave lighter.
What it brings
- Letting go and playing with colour
- Recentering through simple gestures
- Direct expression of emotions
- Emergence of inner images
- A personal trace to take home
Certified in professional art therapy, I accompany you without diagnosis or forced interpretation, with simple and caring listening.
My role : Open the Way and hold the space.
Welcome, short guidance, exploration at your rhythm, non-judgement, integrity of the works respected, optional sharing.
Yours : Explore and Feel
You come to live a moment of creative freedom, at your own rhythm, in a space of welcome and non-judgment.
There’s nothing to achieve — only to experience and feel.
