Description
Looking to bring more creativity into your daily life—without the pressure or overwhelm? This class is for you!
In Tiny Paintings, Big Magic: Create 3×3 Abstract Art for Joy & Flow, you’ll learn how to create a series of expressive 3×3 inch abstract paintings using easy-to-find materials like watercolor, pastels, pencils, and more.
These tiny pieces are quick to make, beginner-friendly, and perfect for building a consistent art habit that fits into even the busiest schedule.
Through bite-sized lessons, I’ll guide you through gathering materials, tapping into your intuition, layering color and texture, and working in a series. You’ll learn how to let go of perfection and reconnect with the joy of spontaneous, playful art-making.
Whether you’re brand new to painting or a seasoned artist looking for fresh inspiration, you’ll walk away with your own collection of mini abstracts—and a simple practice you can return to anytime you need a creative reset.
No pressure, no rules—just a few minutes, a few colors, and a whole lot of possibilities. Let’s paint!

Check out what students are saying about this Workshop:
“This is the perfect class to get the creative juices flowing. I highly recommend!” ~Susan B.
“This class was so engaging and inspiring. Like someone else mentioned in their review – they had a silly grin on their face during this video. I pretty much did also. I have always been a creative but in the textile arena. I am looking forward to branching out and pursuing more of this type of creativity now, thanks to Denise. She makes it look so easy, and abstract is definitely the way to go for this perfectionist! Thanks Denise! Now I have another new hobby to pursue (like I don’t already have enough!) LOL” ~Karen C.
“I had a silly grin on my face through the entire class. Just loved it!” ~ Jacqueline S.
“I’m absolutely delighted with my little artworks. I hadn’t painted for ages because I’d been holding myself back and had lost my creative freedom. This class helped me let go and get started. It was simple, it went quickly, but it’s had a huge impact on me. So thank you so much for that” ~ Carina
“Absolutely loved this class. Denise was able to break down into simple steps how to make beautiful art which is so creatively inspiring. The practice is playful and experimental and is followed by reflection which encourages us to step back and look at what really works well and what worked less well. I love Denise’s energy and enthusiasm, I want to take ALL her classes!!!” ~ Alison B.
“This class was fun and quick. It took me longer to pick out my colors than it did to actually do the painting and mark-making. This would be a great warm-up and also a great way to experiment with the different art materials to see how they play together.” ~ Pam W.
“Big magic indeed! And the Tiny Paintings are so lovely, cute, amazing and achievable…and always a magical surprise! Denise’s classes are a treat! She’s a perfect guiding light in the abstract art and experimental play area! I love looking at all her many examples from her own art creation and taking inspiration from them. And I value her comments on everyone’s project posts! Thankyou Denise!” ~ Gitesha
“Such fun!! Contagious enthusiasm is always encouraging. This course is a ‘permission to play’ so critical for the creative spirit to flow. Learning not to judge myself is a real liberation. I think I’ve learnt to welcome my mistakes – a real achievement when they don’t exist!!! Thank you so much for this breath of fresh air.” ~ K.B.
