The basic course offers you a way to (re)discover your creativity based on the theory provided and the work created in complete freedom. Intuitively and at the same time playfully, you learn to explore your creative skills and to make contact with your own creative intelligence, which has always been there but could only be unlocked again.
You will alternately become acquainted with the 17 principles and, through drawing and painting exercises, you will increasingly master the Vedic Art ideas. At the same time, you gradually discover the connection between your own life and what develops and appears on your canvas. In this way you spontaneously come into contact with the 3 levels in Vedic Art: the basic knowledge of painting, your personal creativity and your inner consciousness.

During the Vedic Art workshops you work in complete freedom and make your own choices and determine the direction and pace of your creative process. I will be present during the painting sessions, but I will ensure that you can go through your creative process in your own place and at your own pace. Of course I am there for you if you have any questions.
The course takes place over 6 consecutive days from Sunday to Friday, each time from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
