Meditative Mandalas - A Paint Sip Zen class

Meditative Mandalas / A Paint Sip Zen class, is a new and relaxing kind of paint class. Grab a paint brush, your favorite drink to sip, a comfy seat and shut the world off for a while. 

Mandala is a Sanskrit word that means circle and represents the Universe, wholeness or completeness. They are an ancient part of every culture, and the repetitive patterns found in them, are found everywhere throughout nature including flowers, tree rings, the sun, fruit, even the cells of our own body.

Creating a Mandala with patterns is an art form known for its meditative and therapeutic effects. The act of creating one takes your mind off other things, offers a chance to relax, helps in hand-eye coordination, and stimulates creative thought flow. Think of it as yoga for the brain. 

In this 2-2.5-hour guided session, you will learn easy concepts and techniques to draw and paint your own unique Mandala on a 12" x 12" canvas. No prior knowledge of art required.

The evening will be lead by professional intuitive artist and educator Erin Leigh Boughamer at our *NEW* Pop-Up Studio in Somers, CT.

Every Paint Sip Zen class is an escape from the week! It is a time to relax, unwind, let go of all life’s stressors and care for our inner well-being. Erin will guide you through the entire evening. She will share different techniques and tips on painting you won’t get from most regular paint and sip classes. Having 30 years experience as a professional artist, and 25+ years experience as an educator, Erin is an expert at explaining how to paint using her style of simple and easy to understand methods.
