"NATURE INFUSED ABSTRACTS"
DISCOVER THE JOY OF INTUITIVE PAINTING
Painting abstracts is full of contradictions: you are caught between those who think that any child could paint them, and those who have a plethora of rules to consider before you even pick up a brush.
That is why I have created this course: to guide you kindly through my way of creating abstracts that are infused by nature.
This course includes video teaching & demonstrations; the presence of two horses to open us up for a different perspective; an extensive handbook with list of materials, painting instructions, reflections, and deepening reading suggestions.
I invite you to deepen your experience of painting nature infused abstracts by
opening to any underlying feelings that might come up;
exploring nature with new eyes;
inviting animal energy into your art;
developing art techniques to feel more confident in your own particular way of creating;
transferring these techniques into your daily life.
In the end, this course is not just about painting techniques. It is also about inviting you to explore your own way of being a creative soul in this world.

Peek into the intro lesson
BIRGIT WESKAMP. ARTIST. HORSEWOMAN. ENTREPRENEUR. TEACHER.
Who would have thought that these various strands of my life would come together so beautifully in the creation of “Nature Infused Abstracts”.
Artist. Starting out with a long time interest in the theory and practice of theatre (a doctorate in theatre studies) and then painting for the last 30 years with a wide range of media until settling happily with acrylics and mixed media elements.
Horsewoman. Entrepreneur. Discovering horses saved me from burn out as an entrepreneur (running a life science business development company), and nurtured an interest in coaching with horses as well as training as a life coach.
Teacher. The circle closes: teaching as my first profession (from teacher training to teaching at the University of Edinburgh, and one of the Cambridge University Colleges), and now excitement over developing this video format course that happily weaves together all the strands.
