Rediscover the joy of painting with an intuitive and playful approach with Cassandra Gaisford’s art tutorial
In this video, I share a special painting demonstration from just before Christmas 2020, created during lockdown. This piece is close to my heart because it symbolizes my journey rediscovering the joy of painting after a 20-year break. Creating art has brought happiness back into my life, and I’m thrilled to share that joy with you! You may also like to come along to my in-person art retreats and classes, details here:
You’ll see how I approach painting in a playful and intuitive way, working on a large 1020mm x 1020mm canvas from (nearly) start to finish. Watch as I layer colors, explore textures, and bring this piece to life.
This painting, titled “Sunday Surprise,” is also extra special because my partner, Lorenzo, loved it so much he decided to keep it, and it now hangs proudly in our home.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, join me in this relaxing and inspiring journey of creation. Let’s bring more joy and creativity into the world together!
As you’ll discover in this video, my whole intention is I’m just going to play. I just want it to be a big juicy happy painting with a real emphasis on joy and love. You may also enjoy my book, Play Dates: Insights and Inspiration to Spark and Sustain Your Creativity
Pink and a sort of chocolatey grey, they just go so beautifully together, don’t they?
Thank you for watching! I hope you find my videos inspiring and love my work.
