The activity of painting can have a powerful impact on an environment and, by extension, on our own health and wellbeing. Experts believe that activities, such as painting classes, can be beneficial for people experiencing depression, stress or anxiety. Indeed, evidence provided by ‘Arts and Minds’, a leading arts and mental health charity, shows that taking part in creative activities has a positive impact on people’s mental health. So, we can say with some conviction that painting for wellbeing can have a great impact on a person.
Painting for wellbeing: accessing an art class
One of the most straightforward ways to experience the beneficial effects of painting is to join an art class. You’ll find that there are many available throughout the land. Indeed, the ‘Craft Courses’ website list hundreds of classes up and down the country. So, you may find that this is a good place to start.
‘Art your Way’ painting classes
A highly recommended painting class is the ‘Art your Way’ course run by Jill Jones in her custom-built studio in West Wales. Furthermore, the courses are suitable for beginners and more experienced painters alike. And, they have a duration of up to a half day or full day, to suit individual needs. Jill’s studio is set in a tranquil, rural location in an acre of land within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park. It is an ideal setting in which to relax and explore painting for wellbeing. Careful thought has gone into the planning of Jill’s painting classes.. This planning ensures that participants have a pleasant, invigorating, educational yet highly relaxing time.
Furthermore, you may book ‘Art your Way’ courses to suit your own schedule. If you can spare only half a day, so be it. Alternatively, if you would like a day class, or even longer, both can be accommodated. Also, refreshments are served on all courses with the addition of lunch for the day-long version.
