A comfy Saturday afternoon creating up to two heart-centered paintings you can choose to keep for yourself or share with family and friends who are in need of an artsy hug.

I will share an easy way to draw and paint whimsical hearts. You will take over and do a warm-up drawing, then go in the direction calling to you, that might include adding all sorts of ephemera, sparkles, paints, marks, quotes, etc. And if you want to paint something else and add hearts as a secondary character, you can do that too! We will use acrylics and markers. Or both. This year I will also have greeting cards you can paint and give to someone for Valentine’s Day.

This is an inspiring, encouraging atmosphere where following your own heart reigns supreme. I am here to offer guidance to those who ask for it. Others will experience an immediate divine download and want to “heart” right in.

I’m a strong proponent of learning to trust your own instincts during the creative process. It’s a great way to develop a style distinctly your own.

All terrific supplies are included. Just bring your adventure-seeking self, some water to drink and clothes you don’t mind getting paint on.

It is a great opportunity to flex your creativity muscles and learn to use some awesome new tools.

I will bring a few tiny treats filled with heart. Conversation encouraged as always!

Nothing like face-to-face interaction to keep you in touch with your humanity.

Open to adults 18 and over and teens who attend with a parent/guardian. I’ve had many mother-daughter duos join us.

Attitude: Warm, wonderful and wish-filled.

Place: TBD

Spots Available: Up to eight.

Clothes you do not mind getting messy. 

Bring water, coffee or anything else you would like to drink  during the program.  I will have some water.

Available: Tiny heart-centric treats

Praise from former participants. 

Giulietta gifted us with an easily accessible, comfortable setting and provided an extensive array of art supplies. She shared examples of her own free-flowing heart paintings and invited us to create our own using various paint mediums. The entire program flowed in the stated timeframe with boundaries and balance. It was a delight to share the artistic experience with other creativity-loving artists.

I hadn’t painted in many years when i signed up for Painting Whimsical Botanicals. I forgot how to begin the painting process. With Julie’s relaxed guidance I was able to shut off my inner art critic for a few hours. Come ready to create and begin to discover your own style.

My husband and I signed up for a Flower Painting experience with Giulietta Nardone. We had a great time and got in touch with are “Child Artist”. We were encouraged to try many different media with an open mind and heart. The class was non-judgmental and free flowing – just like all of Giulietta’s beautiful art work. Personally, I found I had to slow down and enjoy the journey. Something I don’t do in my regular day-to-day. I highly recommend a few hours with Giulietta and all her many paints and wisdom.
