Painting with Nature for Adults
In this dynamic painting course you will draw, print and paint with the living world and your wild heart for deep connection, skill building and sheer delight.
Designed for both beginners and confident creatives, paint encounters invite fresh joyful exploration of nature, materials and processes. Learn the Creative by Nature Art Method of painting in communion with nature through your senses. Watercolour painting with sounds, textures, patterns of bird flight, shadows, clouds, and the wind invite you to touch in, explore, be spontaneous, and find flow as you ignite a painting practice to call your own, naturally. You will paint in a handmade folded crescendo watercolour book that will be your painting companion long after the course is complete.
In addition, in each class you will be invited to experiment with new materials, or familiar ones in new ways, as you work on projects that incorporate some of the following: Japanese Sumingashi marbling, alcohol inks, string art, spin drawing, gelli plate acrylic printing, collage, nature self portraits, plant pigments, mandalas, and pastels.

I will continue exploring this wonderful world of expression you taught me. I am very grateful.
N. Watters
I was an art virgin. Never taken an art class. Never thought I would. I'm so glad I did.
C. Mauro
Creative by Nature Art with Lisa is pure joy!
C. Smart
When I finish painting it gives me a feeling of release. I feel calm and satisfied. It is an outlet for stress, and it enables me to connect with something greater.
Environmental Studies graduate student
Even though I am a market gardener and outdoors all the time, it was totally different to be in the same environment, but with a creative focus.
H. Thoma
Lisa helped me take that leap of faith onto the page. I realized that this is a gift we all have. Forever grateful.
N. Watters
The art projects were fun, simple and before I even started to paint I already felt that whatever expression I presented it was the right one for me.
N. Watters
I am ready to get into my practice, whatever it shapes up to be! Thanks for the inspiration and for BEAUTY MUSE.
P. Pillay
The support of a schedule helped me to prioritize time to deepen my art practice, and there were many AHA moments and surprises along the way!
H. Thoma
Fears of failure and not being good enough could not gain the slightest foothold in the context of Lisa's approach. How can a painting fail when it has been created with closed eyes?
C. Mauro
This week really opened up big doors for me in understanding the much larger role art, and specifically painting, can play in my life - as a way to connect more deeply with nature, myself and others.
