Step into a calm, nurturing space where colour, breath, and presence come together in this mindful art workshop. You will engage in a grounding mindfulness practice designed to settle your nervous system and open your creative awareness. The session includes a guided exploration of gouache and watercolour, ideal for beginners or anyone seeking a softer, more intuitive approach to painting.
Sensory prompts will help you notice texture, flow, colour shifts, and the quiet rhythms of your brush. The environment is gentle and supportive, encouraging experimentation without pressure or the need for perfection. By the end, you will have created a small, take-home artwork born from calm curiosity.
The experience begins with arriving into your body through breath, sound, and stillness before easing into playful mark-making. You will notice the sensations of painting—the cool glide of water, the velvety opacity of gouache, and the soft whisper of bristles on paper. This workshop emphasizes connection—to yourself, the materials, and the present moment—over technical skill.
This workshop is perfect for anyone seeking a creative pause, a mindful reset, or a gentle introduction to gouache and watercolour. No prior experience is needed, just curiosity and openness.
The workshop is held at TTG - The Toowoomba Gallery, located at 3 Railway Street, Toowoomba City, QLD 4350. The venue is accessible and welcoming, situated in the heart of Toowoomba City. Parking and public transport options are available nearby, making it easy to attend after work or on weekends.
Please arrive a few minutes early to settle in and prepare for the mindfulness practice. Materials for gouache and watercolour painting will be provided, so there is no need to bring your own supplies. Comfortable clothing is recommended as you will be seated and engaged in creative activity.
The workshop is designed for adults and is suitable for beginners. It is a quiet, reflective space, so participants are encouraged to maintain a calm atmosphere throughout the session.
Tickets are priced at $55 per session. Multiple dates are available throughout March 2026, allowing flexibility to choose a time that suits your schedule. Booking in advance is recommended as spaces are limited to maintain a small, intimate group setting.
You can book your ticket online through the event website or contact the gallery for more information. This is a wonderful opportunity to invest in your wellbeing and creativity during the busy school term.
