Mixed Media Funky Flowers Weekend Workshop (SAT): Create, Reflect, and Grow Through Art
Mixed Media Funky Flowers Weekend Workshop (SAT): Create, Reflect, and Grow Through Art
Looking for a creative weekend experience that blends art, self-discovery, and joyful expression? The Mixed Media Funky Flowers Weekend Workshop is a unique opportunity to explore your creativity while creating layered floral artwork that reflects your personal journey and intentions.
This engaging workshop invites artists of all levels to experiment with acrylic paint, collage, and graphite in a supportive, inspiring environment. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced painter, you’ll walk away with at least one finished artwork ready to hang—plus a deeper connection to what you want to grow in your life and creative practice.
About the Workshop: Intentional Creativity Through Floral Art
The Mixed Media Funky Flowers Workshop is more than just a painting class—it is a guided creative experience rooted in the Intentional Creativity® method, which follows a meaningful process: ground – inquire – paint – reflect.
Participants begin by grounding themselves, setting an intention for their creative session, and exploring personal themes of growth, beauty, and transformation. Through inquiry, you’ll reflect on your own gifts, passions, and the areas of your life you want to nurture. Then, through painting and mixed media techniques, you’ll translate these ideas into vibrant, layered floral compositions.
Flowers are a powerful symbol of growth, resilience, and self-expression. In this workshop, they serve as both artistic subjects and metaphors for your personal journey. Each layer of paint, collage, and graphite becomes part of a story that is uniquely yours.
What You’ll Learn: Techniques and Creative Exploration
During the four-hour session, you’ll dive into a variety of mixed media techniques that add depth, texture, and personality to your artwork. You’ll learn how to:
-
Layer acrylic paint to create bold, colorful floral forms
-
Incorporate collage elements for texture, pattern, and storytelling
-
Use graphite for drawing and shading, adding detail and contrast
-
Build visual depth through layering and mark-making
-
Develop your own floral style, from whimsical and funky to expressive and abstract
The workshop encourages playful experimentation. There are no strict rules—just guidance, encouragement, and space to explore. Many of the sample images shown are student works, demonstrating how diverse and unique each piece can be. Your artwork will reflect your personal taste, energy, and intention.
What You’ll Get: Art Ready to Hang and Space to Keep Creating
By the end of the workshop, you’ll have at least one completed mixed media painting ready to hang. The process is designed to give you a strong foundation while leaving room for continued exploration and layering after the session.
You’ll also gain:
-
Practical mixed media painting skills
-
A guided creative process you can use again and again

Inspiration and confidence to continue creating

A deeper understanding of how art can reflect personal growth
This is not just a class—it’s a creative reset that can energize your artistic journey.

Why Mixed Media? Why Flowers?
Mixed media art allows you to combine multiple materials and techniques, making your artwork rich, layered, and expressive. By blending acrylic paint, collage, and graphite, you create visual complexity that can’t be achieved with a single medium.
Flowers are an ideal subject for this approach. They can be realistic or abstract, delicate or bold, structured or free-flowing. They invite experimentation with color, texture, and form. More importantly, they symbolize growth, intention, and transformation—making them a perfect companion for a reflective creative process.
A Creative Space to Reflect and Grow
One of the most special aspects of this workshop is the reflective component. Through guided prompts and the Intentional Creativity® framework, you’ll explore what you want to grow in your life—creatively, personally, or spiritually.
Art becomes a mirror, helping you see your intentions on the canvas. Each brushstroke, collage fragment, and graphite mark becomes a visual affirmation of growth and possibility.
