Wintering on the Wild Path

  • Course
  • 9 Lessons

A curated collection of winter themed tutorials from my portfolio of online courses. I will guide your creativity this season, your reflection, observation and expression. I will take you to the quiet space to create and give you tasks to still, slow and touch the soul of what winter is.

Over two hours of videos. 6 lessons. Audio meditation. Prompts to help you capture the essence of winter.

Join me for a gentle seasonal journey where I will encourage you to create with intuition and less thinking, more doing! The prompts will encourage you to try new ways of working to build confident and expressive mark making. Suitable for beginners and accomplished artists looking to stay in flow through the winter months.

I invite you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and explore your creative voice through simple practices that connect art and soul. If you have any questions or want to know if it’s the right fit for you, feel free to ask a question using the links at the bottom of the page.

Wintering is a state of being. It refers to a period of needing quiet and solace from a fast-paced world. It creates a space for the slow, the quiet. It creates a place where you connect to the senses. From this place I ask you to engage with an elemental winter of skies and trees. I invite you to watch videos of how I layer up ideas and techniques to create mixed-media artwork. I prompt you to gently engage with 10 tasks that will help you express your experience of winter, one gentle task at a time.

A winter creative journey without fixed outcomes that asks you to trust what you already know and create intuitively, reflecting on how winter feeds your creative path.
