Relaxed Adult Art Classes

Gum leaf watercolour artwork and red rose painting

Art has so many benefits for people of all ages, and it is especially wonderful for our mental and emotional well-being. Engaging in creative activities, regardless of our skill levels, allows us to relax and take some, often much needed, time for ourselves.

You do not need to create a ‘wall-worthy masterpiece’ each time to reap the benefits of some creative time. Have you ever seen anyone frame the crossword puzzle that they have just completed? I haven’t, but I know they enjoyed the activity and gained well-being benefits. We don’t need to create amazing art every time. We can engage in art to just purely have fun and to maintain a good balance in our lives.

Come along to one of my classes and spend some time with friendly others - I’ve never come across anyone who has signed up for an art class that is a miserable person that no one wants to be around. So, be brave, and come along and join me.

Stay up-to-date with the happenings at Classes and Workshops on my Facebook and Instagram (see links below).
