  • Creative Practice Sessions at Art with Amy Louise are thoughtfully designed times for artistic exploration and growth. These semi-guided sessions are part of our mentorship program and are exclusively available to members of the Creative Collective and those enrolled in current Art with Amy Louise courses.

    Here’s what you can expect in a Creative Practice Session:

    Focused Artistic Time: These semi-guided sessions offer a dedicated space and time for you to work on your art projects, surrounded by a community of like-minded creatives.

    Limited Size: Each session accommodates a maximum of 5 attendees, ensuring a more intimate, spacious, and comfortable environment.

    Creative Exploration: Whether you’re continuing a project, starting something new, or experimenting with different techniques, these sessions are your canvas to paint your artistic journey.

    The ‘Semi-Guided’ Format is a unique blend of independent work and professional mentorship. Here’s how it works:

    Initial Check-In: At the start of the session, I (Amy Louise) will check in with each attendee. This is a time to share what you’ve been working on, discuss any challenges you’re facing, and identify areas where you might need guidance or input.

    Autonomous Work Time: After the initial check-in, you will have time to work independently on your projects. This is your time to immerse yourself in your creative process, explore new ideas, and develop your artwork.

    Accessible Guidance: While you work independently, I will be available for ongoing support. You can seek guidance or ask questions at any point during the session. If you need assistance, you can use table-top cards with prompts to signal me discreetly, or simply ask for help directly.

    Adaptive Check-Ins: Throughout the session, I will periodically check in with attendees to offer assistance as needed. The frequency of these check-ins will be intuitive, based on the session's flow and individual needs.

    The semi-guided approach is designed to foster a balance between self-directed art creation and the benefits of having a mentor on hand. This format allows for personal artistic development while still providing support and expertise when it’s most needed.

    Whether you’re looking to deepen your artistic practice, seeking guidance on specific techniques, or simply wish to be part of a supportive creative community, our Creative Practice Sessions are an ideal space to nurture your artistic soul.
