Description

WHO IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR?

Absolute Beginners: You’ve never EVER painted before, but you’re curious, maybe even a bit scared. You don’t have a clue where to begin. This one day intensive painting class will be perfect for you!

Now And Then Dabblers: You paint ‘a little’ from time to time. You love it, but you never seem to have the time to learn ‘properly’. Painting seems to be an indulgence, where’s the time for it? No worries – my seven step process and intensive but fun approach will give you ‘proper’ structure to build your practice around!

WHAT IS THIS WORKSHOP ABOUT?

Have you ever looked longingly at a beautiful piece of art, and thought, “I wish I could do that, but I don’t have a creative bone in my body!” Or are weekly art classes impossible, because you just can’t spare the time?

If you’ve answered ‘yes’, then you’re in the right place, Painting for Beginners was actually designed for you!

IN DETAIL...

This is a ONE DAY intensive, where you learn my unique seven step process to create beautiful, strong, abstract paintings from scratch – even if the last time you painted, your mum said, “that’s lovely, darling!” and popped it on the fridge.

The day is packed with content, insanely busy and so much fun! You will be guided along one of the many pathways to creating art, and totally surprise yourself at just how much you learn in just ONE day. (And best of all – no need to buy anything – just rock up with nothing but your lunch, as ALL materials, along with extensive notes, are provided). Just watch the video below to take a peek right into my workshop and I hope to see you there!

“Life is a big canvas; throw all the paint on it you can!” -D. Kaye

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

What a joy and privilege this art class was. From start to finish Malini created a space to learn and have fun with paint. The whole day was full of new tricks and insight to the world of painting. It was a lovely day with a group of stunning people. I cannot wait to continue my love for painting. Thank you again Malini for being so generous in sharing your spectacular gift with us. Big love and warmest prayers, Nik and Kristy x

Thank you so much Malini for this beautiful experience... I've learned a lot and I managed to get out my emotions for the day. I brought home 4 beautiful paints that reflected anger, sadness, love and hope... I loved how you thoughts us to let go of the outcome and just trust the process.... not just in painting but in life. I hope to be able to come for more! From the deep of my broken heart.. thank you.

Malini is very generous in sharing her creative space. She warmly invites others in learning how to freely capture a precious "now" moment onto canvas. Whether it's a repetitive action, an exposure to "newness", an energetic or meditative moment, Malini is there gently guiding us through this creative journey. The inspiring location of her studio where she runs the workshop contributes to the feeling of being on a retreat. Whether one is looking for a one day stand-alone art experience, or whether one desires to use this useful learning opportunity to pursue their creative side, I highly recommend this beginner's workshop with Malini.

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!
