Effortless Masterpiece: Free Your Body and Paint Workshop

Unwind first, then paint - a relaxed evening workshop where beginners leave with a finished piece.



2 hours Location Mountain View Class size 1 to 12 guests   $86

Artist and art educator David Han opens this two-hour workshop with gentle Alexander Technique work: movement, breath, and attention that release the tension you have been holding and settle the habits that tighten the body and crowd the mind.
Once you are open and free, you come to the table and create.
David gives you a starting point and a technique or two: how to sketch with water, how to load a brush, how to let the color bleed. You slow down, stay patient, and let time do the rest. You work in watercolor on paper, ink and brush, or acrylic on canvas, with David moving around the room helping as you go and adding a final touch that turns it into a piece you are proud of.
This is for you if you are:
  • Sure you cannot draw and have never picked up a brush
  • Carrying tension in your neck and shoulders and want to unwind somewhere other than your couch
  • In your head all day, wanting to create but not feeling creative
  • Curious about the Alexander Technique and not sure where to start
  • Looking to make something with your hands instead of touching screens
It is also a great date night. Come as a pair and make something side by side, or come on your own. The room stays small (12 people max), the pace is unhurried, and people talk, laugh, and leave having met someone new.
What comes out is almost always beyond what you thought you could make.
Two hours, all materials included, beginners especially welcome.
Private gift or gathering:
Book this as a private experience for a birthday, a holiday gift, a team offsite or any special gathering. It is quiet, memorable and unlike an ordinary night out. We can also design a custom experience for your group, combining tea ceremony, calligraphy, Tai Chi, meditation and sound healing into one session for deep relaxation, nervous system reset and burnout recovery. Send us a request with your group size and preferred date.
Held at The Way Home Collective, a movement, stillness, sound, and art studio in Mountain View.
