Slow down, breathe deeply and reconnect with yourself through the gentle practice of mindful watercolour and intuitive mark making with artist Renee McDonald.Growth Rings is more than a watercolour workshop. It is a calming creative experience inspired by one of nature's most beautiful patterns, the concentric rings found inside a tree. Just like the seasons of our own lives, every ring tells a story. Some represent times of growth, others moments of challenge, and together they become a unique reflection of your journey.
Designed for complete beginners through to experienced creatives, this mindful art workshop invites you to let go of perfection and simply enjoy the process of creating.
Your experienced teacher, Renee, will gently guide you through a series of relaxing mark making exercises that help quiet the mind, loosen your hand and build confidence before you begin painting. There are no mistakes, no pressure and no expectations. Just an opportunity to explore colour, movement and mindfulness at your own pace.
As your artwork develops, you will gradually build layers of watercolour and meaningful marks, creating your own personal Growth Rings piece. Every brushstroke and every line becomes part of your story, resulting in artwork that is both beautiful and deeply personal.
Whether you are looking for a creative outlet, a mindful self care experience or simply a relaxing afternoon away from the busyness of everyday life, this workshop offers the perfect opportunity to slow down and reconnect.
We believe creativity is not about being artistic. It is about making space to breathe, explore and enjoy the simple joy of creating something with your own hands.
