YOUR
Creative Nature
in Bloom
If you’re a budding artist who is yearning to create art that's alive with your own unique expression, this workshop is for you!
Grow your self-expression & truly bloom from the inside out!
Hi! I’m Jenelle de Souza, an Australian artist, designer and educator for over 20 years, and I help people to grow to their greatest creative expression.
Join me in this live, one-day online art workshop where I'll teach you my transformative step-by-step creative process that enables you to create richly expressive artwork that's truly YOU in style.
Intertwining mixed media art skills with self-growth practices, this groundbreaking process lights up the expression in not only your artwork, but your everyday life – supporting you to be more open, intuitive and full of creative possibilities ... Your creative nature in full bloom!
What you'll learn ...
Bringing along your favourite flowers as your subject matter for the workshop, you'll learn my signature creation process, 'Be Creative Nature'. Guiding your entire creative journey, this process liberates and grows your artistic expression through hands-on exercises in three stages:
​
-
Be Heard: Learn meditative and self-enquiry practices to tune in and listen to your response to your artwork subject matter.
-
Be Felt: Gain tactile mixed media skills that amplify feeling in your artwork and your distinct artistic expression.
-
Be Seen: Learn style and composition skills that expand feeling and texture into final form.
Throughout the process you’ll create a series of floral studies while learning how to draw out and confidently transform your inspiration into artwork that’s enriched with the unique texture, colour, and design of your own expressive style.
This transformative process enables you to:​
Use a step-by-step creative process to bring your inspiration into form
Connect with and express feeling in your art with freedom and confidence
Grow your one-of-a-kind artistic style with clarity and consistency
Loosen up your art with mixed media techniques for greater expression
Use composition, colour, texture and layering for emotional impact
Cultivate an experimental state of being that’s optimal for creative flow
Overcome creative blocks, limiting beliefs and create art consistently
Embrace creativity for relaxation and a grounded, energised presence.
CREATE WITH EXPRESSION THAT'S TRULY YOU
Just as a flower naturally grows from a seed, creative expression is a uniquely fundamental part of our nature that wants to grow to be heard, felt and seen!
