Flow State in Creative Painting

Description

Flow state is the focused, absorbed mood that many people look for in creative work, and these lessons apply it to painting. You start with what flow is, how to set up a space that supports it, and mindfulness techniques suited to beginners. Colour theory, gesture drawing and abstract painting give you simple ways to start making marks without overthinking.

Later lessons deal with creative blocks and the inner critic, building a daily painting practice, and painting a first series. They also look at art history and modern masters, group painting exercises, and ways to continue the practice. Many lessons include exercises, with a couple of checklists.

Who it is for: adults who are new to painting and want a calm, low-pressure way to start.
