What

-    An easy, fun, mind freeing workshop incorporating doodles and (if desired) watercolour paint.

-    About 2 hours (flexible based on your need).

-    No previous experience needed, no wrong results.

-    Basic instructions provided, guidance as needed.

-    Ideas and samples supplied for inspiration.

-    All materials provided - leave the workshop with a card to keep or giveaway or a frame-able watercolour piece (or both).

Why

-    Doodling has several benefits:

•    It relieves stress. Let your mind wander and take a break from heavy thoughts.

•    It can express tough emotions. Let a scream or a tear come through your fingers on to the paper and let the emotion go.

•    It builds creativity and spontaneity. Tap into the child that still lives in you.

•    It improves memory. Many studies have found that people who doodle while listening to a lecture or even a telephone message are able to retain more information through keeping their minds engaged. It’s a practice you can take away with you.

-    Watercolours are fun and easy to use and adding colour can enhance the emotions or just add visual appeal.
