The Blooming

🌸 Workshop 3: The Blooming

A Women’s Painting Circle to Step into Summer🕯 Wednesday 22nd October | 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM | $65 Final instalment of the Steep & Bloom Spring Series

🎨 Creative Focus: Paint a Woman in Bloom

This is a guided painting session where each participant creates their own version of a symbolic portrait of a blooming woman — a representation of the self as she steps into summer.

It’s not about realism. It’s about vibrancy, identity, and energy.

💡 How It Works:

• You provide a simplified version of the artwork style (like the one you shared)

• Use bold lines, expressive features, flat colours, and floral motifs

• You'll guide them step-by-step through:

  • Sketching a face shape and neckline

  • Adding stylised facial features

  • Painting a flower crown or blooming headpiece

  • Personalising the piece with colour, patterns, or affirmations
    

🌱 Final Ritual: Painted on Seeded Paper

Participants paint their blooming woman on seeded or handmade paper.

At the end, they’re invited to:

• Write a short intention on the back: “I am blooming into…”

• Take it home to frame or plant (as a living symbol of their summer energy) 💫 Circle + Reflection (Final 20 mins)

  • Return to circle

  • Each woman (optional) places her painting at the centre altar and shares:

    “This is what I’m stepping into this summer...”

  • You close with a light ritual — petals, candle, affirmation card, or offering of seed
