Relax and de-stress

The Art of Stress-busting is especially for anyone who is stressed out and finding life tough for whatever reason, who wants a place to chill out and be creative and to learn new, very positive things.

It is also ideal if you just want to take up a new creative hobby or you are already an artist who would like to try out a new medium.

It is designed to be done by anyone at any level in art from beginner to advanced with the smallest outlay of materials and accessed on a monthly subscription basis.

Switch into creative mode

The Art of Stress-busting is designed to take you away from the stresses of everyday life and show you how to relax and let your creative energies flow by switching between the two hemispheres of your brain.

Instead of spending all your stress-filled days in the logical, linear, time-centred, left hemisphere of the brain, discover how to move into the creative, relaxing, rejuvenating, timeless reverie that is right hemisphere mode.

It is in right hemisphere mode that the artist “sees” in the way that captures aspects of a subject that you just don’t see in the left brain mode which categories everything into stereotypical images.

Pick-and-mix selection

Choose from painting sessions using watercolours, acrylics or soft pastels, drawing sessions with pencil, soft pastel or oil pastels, or sessions that cleverly combine the benefits of different media.

Be inspired with a selection box of subjects including landscapes from woodland walks to riverside strolls in all seasons and times of day, tasty still life arrangements, bouquets of blooms and fields of flowers.

Gain insights with tutorials offering tips and techniques in the use of each of the different materials and media as well as how to create pictures with great composition.

Close-up tuition

Each of the lesson packages in The Art of Stress-busting centres around an instructional video of the painting or drawing exercise for you to follow along with me step-by-step to create your version of the picture.

Unlike attending face-to-face classes, you get a close-up view of the painting demonstration, the videos can be accessed any time that suits you, plus you can stop them at any point, rewind and replay or return to them weeks or months later as a fantastic way to chart your progress.

Each lesson package also includes a downloadable pdf of the outline drawing that you use to begin the painting.

Be part of the community

You will be a member of the You CAN draw and paint Facebook Chat Room where you can meet other arty stress-busters, ask questions, share hints and tips, inspire and be inspired by your fellow artists.

It is a great space in which to share images of our work and curate online exhibitions so we can bring everyone together no matter where in the world they are actually based.

We can all meet up there for chats and challenges, but if you want a private word, you can also book a one-to-one online tutorial or coaching session with me.
