COURSE NO LONGER OFFERED
Welcome to the Introduction to the Art of Stress-busting – a taster package designed to give you a flavour of the range of relaxing, creative lessons and sessions waiting for you in the main programme.
Whether you are painting a riverside scene in acrylics, drawing a bouquet of bright flowers in pastel or splashing out on a fruit lunch in watercolours, all sessions in The Art of Stress-busting have the same goal – helping you to switch over from the stressed-out left hemisphere of the brain where you spend your daily life and jump into the creative, relaxing reverie that is right hemisphere mode.
It is in the right hemisphere of the brain that artists “see” in the way that captures aspects of a subject that most people don’t notice – usually because they are stuck in left hemisphere mode.

Just for starters
In the first helping on our taster menu the Introduction to the Art of Stress-busting you'll discover how and why we are more creative and relaxed in right hemisphere mode than in left, and how easy it is to learn to switch over at any time we want.
You’ll see samples of art produced in both left and right hemispheres and discover that which side of the brain you are operating in determines the way you look at that same object and thus how you depict it.
Once you understand this you can learn to instantly switch from left to right and you can learn to stay in right hemisphere mode even though the dominant left side is trying to regain control.

Today’s main menu
This taster package has a choice of two main courses – or help yourself to both of them – where you follow me in a step-by-step video tutorial lesson creating a painting of a walk through the woods in either watercolours or acrylics.
In case you are new to these media, there are also video tutorials in how to mix different colours and apply the paint as well as buying tips covering the equipment needed to show you that you don’t need to spend a fortune on expensive art materials.
As with all the lessons on both the taster package and the main programme, 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.
