A 4-Day Immersive Art Workshop

This workshop explores the dynamic interplay between intuition and structure in the creative process. Through hands-on exercises, guided experimentation, and reflective discussions, participants will learn how to balance spontaneity with intentional design, unlocking a more authentic and confident approach to art-making.

Day 1: Exploring Intuition

Focus: Letting go of control and embracing instinctive creativity.

Participants will engage in exercises that encourage spontaneity, loosen up their creative process, and connect with their natural artistic impulses. Through mark-making, movement, and experimental techniques, they will learn to trust their instincts and develop a personal visual language.

Day 2: Understanding Structure

Focus: Learning how design principles support creative expression.

This day introduces essential composition, balance, and design concepts that help bring clarity and cohesion to artwork. Through guided exercises, participants will explore how structure can enhance rather than restrict their artistic voice, creating intentional and compelling pieces.

Day 3: Integrating Flow & Form

Focus: Merging intuitive expression with thoughtful design.

Participants will experiment with alternating between spontaneous and intentional techniques, finding a rhythm that suits their artistic process. By working in a series, they will explore different approaches to blending freedom with structure while learning how to refine their work without losing its authenticity.

Day 4: Honing Your Balance

Focus: Developing a sustainable, personal approach to art-making.

The final day is dedicated to refinement, self-reflection, and applying learned techniques to individual projects. Through group discussions and critiques, participants will gain insights into their unique creative balance and leave with practical strategies for continuing their artistic journey.

This workshop is designed to help artists navigate the push and pull between freedom and control, fostering a more fluid, intentional, and fulfilling creative practice.

Testimonials

Nino’s Essence Workshop was such a treat on so many levels. The small group format allowed for a relaxed and supportive environment. Nino did demonstrations everyday to get us going and also sparked discussions about why we create, and how we overcome obstacles and maintain our curiosity as artists. The depth of instruction was incredible and the variety of exercises gave us the opportunity to look at many different approaches to our own work. Oh and the non stop snacks and gourmet lunches were over the top! Can’t wait for the next one!  - Jen Brannon  

I learned you can look into your past works and borrow a few patterns and motifs you particularly liked, but now push the limits and create them in a new refreshed and dynamic way. It was so deliciously satisfying.  - Kate Jones  

If you have the opportunity to study with Nino do it. I found his style and instructions so encouraging and inspiring  - Ree Katrak

The Essence workshop with Nino was just what I needed. The days were perfectly paced. We started each day with lively discussions, a demo or two, worked on insightful exercises, and did a lot of painting and repainting. Nino led a great workshop with charm, humour, perceptive feedback and great snacks. I’d do it all over again in a flash! Thanks Nino.  - Jo-Anne Westerby
