discover your happy place
Whether you're stuck in a rut with your art or simply looking for new abstract ideas, this exciting course from Australian artist Sharon Blair will help you escape your creative chaos.
​
Distilling more than two decades' worth of abstract art experience, Sharon will share how to create stunning mixed media pieces from start to finish – using a toolbox of clever techniques. Along the way, you'll draw on your own experiences and memories as you embrace a playful approach to building layers, managing colour and ultimately producing brilliant pieces filled with meaning.
Art is all around us – both in nature and the things we create. It tells stories. It delights and surprises. It nourishes us and takes us to our own personal ‘happy place’. In this comprehensive online course, you are invited to bring these unique influences to life on canvas, learning techniques that will encourage experimentation and play.
Presented by Kiama-based artist Sharon Blair, this online course features more than 6 hours of professionally shot video lessons to take you through all the steps to building a fully resolved paint and collage-based mixed media artwork – from inspiration to finished piece.
Sharon’s thoughtful approach and easy step-by-step process allows you to learn in real time, at a pace that suits you. Taking you from choosing materials, inspiration and understanding colour through to the creation and assembly of various elements, My Happy Place is as much about the journey as it is the destination. Along the way, you will discover techniques such as gelli-plate and collage plus learn how you can turn everyday items into artistic ingredients.
Each online module clearly defines its outcomes and Sharon demonstrates each step clearly throughout. With her signature ‘perfectly imperfect’ approach to artistic expression, you have absolutely freedom to explore your own inspiration and influences. There are no wrong answers as you learn to unlock your creativity and build your creative confidence – bringing to life your ‘happy place’!
