About the class

  • Explore drawing and painting without the pressure to make “good art.”
  • Come make a mess, experiment and create something that feels completely yours.
  • These hands-on classes use instinct, movement, shape and colour to help you loosen up, trust your creative voice and uncover ideas from your subconscious.

What happens when you stop trying to make “good art” and start trusting your instincts?

In this hands-on class, we’ll explore drawing and painting as a way of accessing the subconscious, using loose marks, instinct, movement, shape and colour to uncover ideas that you might not have consciously thought of.

We’ll begin with ink exercises designed to get you out of your head and loosen your hand. From there, we’ll learn how to find unexpected shapes, characters, textures and compositions within our drawings, turning instinctive marks into something intentional.

As the classes progress, we’ll take these discoveries onto canvas, experimenting with acrylic paint, colour and composition to create finished artworks that feel uniquely yours.

This isn’t about perfect drawing or painting techniques. It’s about learning to trust your hand, follow your instincts and develop your own visual language.

Come curious. Leave with paintings that could only have come from you.

Teacher

Careshia Esperanza

Careshia teaches MAKE FROM WITHIN, the studio's Thursday evening class in drawing and painting from instinct. She starts with loose ink exercises that get you out of your head and loosen your hand, then goes looking for the shapes, characters and textures hiding inside those marks — turning instinctive gestures into finished work on canvas. Less about technique, more about trusting your hand and building a visual language that could only be yours.
