- Colours to use – Your favourite-coloured acrylic paints, watercolours or non-toxic artist materials
- Something to paint with or prep with – Masking tape, brushes and palette knives; whatever you prefer to paint with, you may also want to experiment with geometric shapes, so rulers, compasses, string and un-usual bits and bobs can make for an interesting play/experimentation experience. I use plastic cutlery, straws, sponges, and whatever I think will create interesting marks.
### WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO SOMEONE THINKING ABOUT JOINING THIS SESSION?
- “Do it! Depending on who you are, it may take some time to adjust your mindset to a more “abstract” way of thinking, but it’s a journey into yourself and your perceptions. You don’t need to be “creative” or think you’re creative, as the workshop extracts so much. There’s no judgment; it’s playing and definitely worth it!” Michelle
- “Definitely, a worthwhile experience, even if painting isn’t your thing. There’s some things that can help change your approach to things.” Luke
- “It’s very cathartic, and you’ll get out what you put in. At the very least, you’ll make new friends.” Trevor
- “It’s definitely worth a try. You never know what/how much you’ll learn about yourself.” Andy
- “Give yourself time and space to grow and push your boundaries in a safe space.” Sophie
- “JFDI .. you will learn things about yourself.” Rishi
- “Do it. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday” Jade
- “It’s very cathartic, and you should join.” Tabitha
- “Don’t overthink it going in.” Angus
- “Highly recommend it!” Martin
- “Suitable for anyone.” Barnie
