“Getting back into painting after a child” – Hannah Klupiec

iPad Art by Hannha Klupiec, Paper by fiftyThree App

Written by Hannah Klupiec

Being a first time mum, I don’t think I realised the full scope of how things would change. It took me a while to get back into painting and only recently after 2 years did it happen. Having said that, I have always been committed to and been a keen supporter of artistic pursuits of all kinds. During the last couple of years I have made many mixed media cards, downloaded a few arty apps, gone back into part time art teaching but never had the strength to go get that canvas and start painting again. I went along to one of the evening classes and just started slowly, not going every week but getting there with a familiar theme… good old still life. Enjoying being back into it, loving my oil paints ( sorry but water mixable)and having the silence of no interruptions from home life with Van Morrison playing in the background. My focus and goal is to finish the small painting this year and start a larger one in early 2013. Mike has been very flexible with my comings and goings at NSA which has been great so here’s to a new balance of one of many roles many of us play in life. It’s hard but sometimes you just have to make room for the creative energy inside.

For all those who doubt that they have a single creative bone in their body! Let us prove you wrong! Everybody has the ability to draw and paint. All you need is the enthusiasm to do so. We uncover the tricks of the trade through simple exercises that will teach you to see like an artist. Get your lines right, get your tone right, understand how perspective and scale works. Learn how to use colour pencil and be introduced to oil painting. Discover skills you never thought you had in our fun and relaxed environment!
