Painting With Texture
Description
About PAINTING WITH TEXTURE
“The universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.”- E. Gilbert
Does a whole weekend of creating beautiful textured, layered art sound like heaven? Then come with me on a personal journey into my painting process, and let me share a whole lot of different texturey goodness with you!
Don't worry if you haven't been painting for ages! We have wonderful intentions, but life gets in the way. We will re-ignite those creative fires, and delve deep into texture and colour, using my signature lace, leaves and swirly lines. You will take your paintings to new levels of depth and richness ... (And that's just part of it!)

Hi there, I’m Malini, scientist-turned-artist/writer/teacher. I’m delighted you stopped by :) If you’re here because you’ve heard of my unique art workshops for beginners, you're in the right place!
SO ... Is this you?
Have you ever gazed longingly at a beautiful work of abstract art, and thought, “I wish I could do that, but I don’t have a creative bone in my body!” Do you yearn to express your creativity, but you just don’t know how? Are weekly art classes impossible, because you just can’t spare the time? Yes, yes and yes? Well then, things may be about to change for you!
PAINTING FOR BEGINNERS - the ONE DAY INTENSIVE is for...
The ABSOLUTE BEGINNER: You’re the one that’s always been curious about your artistic side, but you haven’t a clue where to begin. Or the one that’s never had the time to attend weekly art classes. Or perhaps it all seems too overwhelming … maybe you feel you’ve left it too late to learn. Hey, I designed this workshop for YOU! In one jam-packed, fun day, you’ll lose that fear of the unknown. And learn absolutely heaps. I’ve got you covered!
The NOW-AND-THEN-DABBLER: So you paint a little. But you love it a lot! And you dream of one day learning how to do it all ‘properly’. Now’s your chance. Use my seven step process to give you some clear structure. Let my intensive but oh-so-fun approach invigorate you. You’ll be painting with more purpose and passion in no time!
------------------------------------------------------
I meet hundreds of wonderful, worried, would-be creatives in my workshops.And in just ONE DAY, I fill their hearts and hands with possibilities! It’s an insanely busy day, full of laughs and love, and the beautiful art that emerges is just spectacular. This event that began in my backyard just a few years ago, with five young folk who were keen to learn to paint has now grown into my consuming passion and helped transform the lives of so many people. It is an incredible honour to be part of another’s creative journey, and that delight I witness in my students as they rediscover their creativity… aaah, it makes my heart sing :)
Thank you for your interest in me and my work. It would be my honour to make a difference in your life, and help unlock your creativity!
You have so much joy ahead of you :)
Warmly,
Malini Parker

Terms & Conditions
In these uncertain times, let me reassure you of my policies to help you navigate the 'unexpected'!
If you have to reschedule because of Covid or any other genuine medical emergency, your booking will be transferred to an alternative future date that suits you, or I offer full credit that you can redeem later.
If a workshop has to be rescheduled because of illness on my part, your fee will be held in credit until such time as it's convenient for you to be able to attend.
If you enrol in a course -- and then want to swap to another date, you may, provided you give 3 or more weeks' notice.
If you enrol in a course -- but then decide you don't want to do the course, you may give your spot to a friend or colleague, like a lovely "gift certificate."
If you enrol in a course -- and simply don't show up on the day, your spot is forfeit and will not be re-scheduled.
And that's pretty much it.
I do not offer refunds for any workshops, and all sales are final. Once you register for a workshop, I hold a space especially for you, and commit fully to you and your participation.
And rest assured that if Covid upends things, we can work around that to light up your beautiful creative self, when the timing is right 🙂
I look forward to sharing a creative adventure with you ... it really is the BEST sort of adventure!
