This is an introduction to the water-based creative workshop Whispering Waters: Fluid Creativity & Creative Painting.
It contains four modules, each 5–8 pages long.
These modules explore what lies at the heart of our work:
creativity
the presence and magic of water
the intelligence of trees
awareness and perception
and the simple practices that help us enter a creative state of mind.
You will also find gentle painting instructions and a few practices to help you experience how we work — slowly, intuitively, and through presence rather than technique.
This introduction does not include the full course.
It is for those who wish to understand the essence of Whispering Waters before committing to the full journey.
Creativity opens when we slow down, listen and give ourselves permission to explore without judgement.
This is an online version of Fluid Creativity Through Painting workshop on the creative process through painting and beyond.
This workshop is not about technique it explores the creative process through the lens of painting, as well as how to tune in to the process, how to get to the flowing state. While the focus is on visual art, the principles we explore apply to all creative practices.
We’re often told to “get into the flow”, to create from a place of openness and movement. But what does that really mean? Over the past 35 years, as a craftsman, artist and scientist, I’ve explored this question deeply.
What I offer here is not a fixed method, but a personal synthesis: insights drawn from the works and theories of many creative minds, combined with my own lived experience.
