Description
Discover a unique and relaxing art experience in a cozy setting (my home). I have been exploring the visual arts for over 15 years. I have over 10 years of experience in graphic design and have run my own art gallery, “CreArte” (Lugo, Spain), which has allowed me to work closely with artists and learn to convey creativity in a personalized way. In this experience, you will create your own textured painting using carefully selected materials: gold leaf, paper, sand, acrylics, and canvas. The standard version is a 30×30 cm canvas, ideal for carrying in your suitcase if you don't live in Alicante. All materials are included in the price. There is also the option of larger canvases measuring 60×60 cm (23.6×23.6 inches) or other dimensions for an additional €30, allowing you to explore more extensive textures and volumes. The experience is designed for small groups of 1 to 4 people or for individual sessions, ensuring personalized attention and a welcoming space where you can relax and let your creativity flow. This is more than just a painting class: it's a time to unwind, relax your mind, and enjoy the creative process without pressure. During the session, I will guide you step by step through techniques related to texture, collage, and brushwork, as we explore the symbolism of the materials: gold leaf represents wealth and opulence, white paper symbolizes simplicity and balance, and sand reminds us of the importance of time and harmony. Each element you add to your painting will also serve as a small artistic reflection on the balance between different worlds. We will work in a relaxing atmosphere, with soft music and seasonal drinks: hot tea in winter and fresh juices in summer. We will paint on the terrace, weather permitting, or, on very hot days or in bad weather, in the comfortable lounge. You will feel the textures, experiment with the materials, and focus fully on your creation. At the end of the session, you will be able to view your work and share your thoughts and feelings. What’s more, this activity allows you to experience a cultural aspect: Spain is a country with a rich artistic heritage, and each city has its own creative history. By participating, you will be exploring contemporary art techniques and connecting with artistic innovation, creating a unique work that combines learning, culture, and creativity. Whether you come alone, as a couple, or in a small group, you’ll take home a tangible work of art, artistic knowledge, and a lasting memory of your trip. This is the perfect opportunity to unwind, express yourself, and take home a piece of creativity and culture, all in an accessible and transportable format. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me—there's no obligation. ____________ Lilia, The Moldovan artist who found her creative haven in Spain :)Includes
