You live a busy life, where you are controlled. Always controlled, or controlling?
Making sure X gets to Y, before Y needs Z. Even just writing this makes it exhausting. But imagine if you could switch off from that. Even if just for a few hours. Our Open Canvas Expression Sessions let you do just that. And you’re probably thinking, “but I don’t know what to paint” or “I can’t paint”, again, let go of the control.
Our artists will guide you through techniques to try, your mood might dictate the colours you choose, and once you find a motion that feels good – well then, you’ll keep doing that. This class is about releasing emotion, placing it on the canvas, and letting it stay there. As a masterpiece.
What To Expect At Our Open Canvas Expression Sessions
All art materials will be provided for you to walk in and start creating. With a mix of old school classics and other music favourites playing you’ll be transported to a good time. Our artists will guide you step-by-step through techniques you can try and then you just let yourself move freely on the canvas.
Many of our Picassos also come prepared with images of inspirations from Pinterest or other artists they adore, which they’d like to recreate and display at home.
Either option is entirely up to you – however we really do suggest just trying the Open Canvas Expression Session and placing no control on how the artwork will turn out. It really is just all about allowing yourself to express freely. Who knows, you might just find yourself being present and at peace.
Our Open Canvas Expression Session Artwork
We abandon defined subjects to focus solely on the expressive power of abstract formations, expressing emotions through brushstrokes, colours, patterns, and textures.
Expressive art allows you to art without rules or expectations. It encourages our brain to respond in a less restrictive and stereotypical manner, calming the mind in a fun, playful, and messy way!
How To Book An Open Canvas Expression Session With Your Local Studio
Hosting your own Open Canvas Expression Session is as easy as ABC. Find your local Pinot & Picasso studio and enquire about how you can host a Open Canvas Expression Session at the studio.
