Come Paint With Me
Facilitator: Wanda Collins Johnson
About the Class
Have you ever wished you painted with childlike curiosity? As children, we were all artists, and some of us harbor a hope to return to that bliss. Do you wish to experience the profound calm that arrives when art is in flow mode?
Is there a shyness or hesitation in your heart, even though you’d rather be wild and free? Watercolors are notorious for being “hard to control”—and our inner perfectionist might be working against us because sometimes the uncontrollable aspects of water (plus paint) are actually our friend, not our enemy. Let’s paint together and find out.
Whatever your skill level, we invite you to come explore the workings of your inner life using watercolors, inks, crayons, pens, and pencils. Yes, there will be some art instruction. But mainly we’ll have fun.
Meet Your Facilitator
Wanda creates paintings and writings that shine a light on the dark corners of the soul, the shadowed realm of mystery where we often struggle for clarity and meaning. There is no possibility of creating a work of art without some dark and light included, and the same is true of our work as human beings. We must integrate our experiences, heal ourselves, and realize our inherent wholeness.
She believes this is a project that requires our entire lifetime. Compassion and a sense of humor helps, and she tries to bring that to her art classes. As an artist, writer, healer, integrative counselor, mother, and grandmother, she approaches life’s challenges with as much creative gumption as she can muster. She integrates her personal life experiences with her art and encourages others to do the same via her art workshops at The Estuary.
