SUMMARY:Nourish: 7-week Abstract Painting for Creative Wellbeing Course
DESCRIPTION:Creativity isn’t just about making art – it can also help us slow down\, reconnect and discover fresh perspectives. \nNourish is a seven-week abstract painting course that blends creative exploration with gentle reflective practice. Designed for complete beginners through to experienced artists\, the course offers a welcoming and supportive space to experiment with colour\, texture\, symbolism and intuitive mark-making while creating a deeply personal work of art. \nAcross seven weeks you’ll gradually create an original Abstract Self or Soul Portrait\, exploring colour\, texture\, symbolism and intuitive mark-making as you build a richly layered personal artwork. \nEach week’s activities encourage imagination\, spontaneity and creative confidence while providing inspiration for the final stages of the Soul Portrait. \nThroughout the course\, tutor Jordan Harcourt-Hughes will be sharing a curated selection of contemporary abstract and spiritual painters who have influenced her own artistic practice. You’ll get the chance to consider how they use colour\, symbolism\, texture and abstraction to communicate ideas that can’t always be expressed through words and explore new techniques in your own artworks. \nRather than focusing on artistic perfection\, the course invites you to enjoy the process of exploration. No previous painting experience is necessary\, just a willingness to experiment\, play and discover what emerges. \nWhat You’ll Learn:\nBy participating in this course\, learners will: \nExplore the foundations of abstract painting through colour\, texture\, layering and play.\nDevelop confidence painting intuitively without worrying about getting it “right”.\nDiscover mindful painting practices that encourage calm\, focus and creative flow.\nExplore symbolism and narrative through visual storytelling exercises.\nLearn about a range of contemporary abstract and spiritual painters. \nWhat You’ll Create:\nEach participant will leave the course with: \nA completed Abstract Soul Portrait.\nA collection of painting studies and experiments.\nGreater confidence with abstract painting.\nCreative practices to continue exploring beyond the course. \nThis is a 7-week course\, running Wednesday evenings from July 30th – September 10th.
