Unlock your creativity

We had a fantastic workshop with Yvette de Beer. The pictures tell the story.

The workshop was held in Yvette's lovely home on Witbank Dam where she has a beautiful work room flooded with natural light.

We began by painting backing board. Then we were asked to draw characters based on random pieces of driftwood and other natural items.

We were asked to juxtapose two characters. We placed these on the backing boards. As can be seen, many different approaches were taken.

What a fabulous way to unleash creativity, free the mind and be inspired! Thanks Yvette.
