Mindful Abstract Art Workshops

Painting Beyond Overthinking

Discover abstract painting as an intuitive and restorative creative practice at Riverside Studios.

Move beyond control and overthinking into a more immediate, expressive way of creating, where forms, textures, and unexpected imagery emerge through the painting process.

Led by abstract artist Roya Nozadi, this ongoing workshop series explores instinct, abstraction, and the hidden language of marks and colour.

Inspired by intuitive art practices, automatic drawing, and the relationship between creativity and the unconscious, participants are encouraged to let go of perfection and develop their own visual language through colour, texture, and form.

Because creativity is always evolving, each workshop introduces new approaches and techniques, making every session a different experience. Participants are encouraged to return and gradually deepen their process over time.

Session focus:

30 May – Discovering Hidden Forms in Abstract Painting 

27 June – Transforming Forms & Hidden Creatures into a new work
 

What to expect:

• Intuitive painting exercises designed to quiet overthinking 
• Exploration of colour, line, texture, composition, and abstraction 
• Experimental techniques including layering, collage, and mark-making 
• A calm and welcoming studio atmosphere 
• Space for reflection, creative freedom, and personal expression 

All materials are provided.
You’ll leave with new visual discoveries and a personal artwork developed during the session.

No previous art experience is needed, only curiosity and openness to the process.
