Creativity is one of the most powerful tool to use in life to feel happy and in the state of “flow”. When was the last time you allowed yourself to just grab some paint and forget about the real world and dive into the splash of colours? It is told that the best ideas are born when the mind is relaxed… what if you tried to just play a bit and have fun with watercolors and enjoy the process of creating something completely new?
The workshop is 90 min long, and is open for anyone, no previous experience needed. You will be guided through the process of creating by academic slovenian artist Andreja Kranjec, who holds a master degree from Academy of fine arts and design and has several years of experience with teaching artistic workshops with children and adults.
