Moving from representational to abstract art! #creativeshift

Sally Ann's creative journey began in 1994 when she embarked on an apprenticeship with an equestrian artist, she honed her skills and discovered her passion for oil painting. Later, she ventured into working with acrylics and more recently, found herself moving from representational to more abstract work, hence taking CREATIVE SHIFT to support her transition. The course provided her with a supportive space to explore her creative process, helping her to bridge the gap between the two art styles and move more confidently into abstraction. ---------- My 10-week online course is an exploratory journey into yourself and your creative practice. I developed the course after becoming acquainted with the sticky areas of my own practice! The feelings of frustration (and procrastination!) would trip me up time and time again. Through deep reflection of my own creative path, I created a structure which provides a step-by-step process for understanding your own work and its uniqueness. I figured out that with a greater understanding of each element of my process, it became easier to navigate the shifts - so I now have a framework which I use each time my work evolves. I've shared my framework with many artists and have seen so many wonderful ‘shifts’, both on a personal and practical level. It isn't your average painting course, in fact, we don't paint at all - or at least I don't (artists are welcome to maintain their own creative practices). A series of modules, guided conversations, prompts and exercises (encouraged but not compulsory!) invite you to explore all areas of your work and processes. We scratch under the surface, we seek out the what's and why's behind your art-making! And here's the good news... That's where the magic is! That's the key to creating work that's unique to you. ---------- You can find more details about the course at: https://www.sally-anneashley.com/crea...
