Paint a Colombian floral still life in Bogotá

Ditch the rules and paint with instinct in a hands-on still-life session inspired by Colombia’s native blooms. Join me in my Bogotá studio, where you’ll use movement, color, and intuition to cocreate a floral artwork that captures energy over perfection. • Start with a grounding circle, setting intentions and writing words of inspiration directly onto the blank canvas. Observe the shapes, textures, and energies of the Colombian flowers. • Next, awaken your senses with movement exercises and an herbal tea blend brewed to heighten creativity. • Together, you’ll layer intuitive brushstrokes to cocreate the painting, bringing the essence of each bloom to life. • Lastly, embrace the art of letting go, cutting the canvas into equal pieces so everyone takes home part of our shared creation. You’ll leave with a piece of artwork infused with emotion, memory, and the beauty of Colombian flora. I kindly invite you to bring a personal object that you would like to include in the still life.
