You don't want to work
to look better. You want it to feel alive.
Â
If your work feels tight, stiff, or overworked, it’s usually not about skill.
It’s what happens when pressure sneaks into the process.
Finding Flow is about learning how to show up free, loose, and responsive—so your work has movement, energy, and breath. Not forced. Not uptight. Not frozen.
This workshop helps you create from flow instead of control.
Flow isn’t magic. It’s built.
Work that feels alive comes from the right combination of:
- Â Techniques that invite movement
- Â Art supplies that support looseness
- Â Mindset that keeps you open instead of guarded
When these ingredients work together, your work naturally becomes more fluid, expressive, and honest.
Â
What this
workshop supports
- Â Creating work that feels loose, free, and alive
- Â Letting go of stiffness and overthinking
- Â Showing up consistently without forcing motivation
- Â Working with your energy instead of against it
- Â Building a long-term, sustainable art practice
Â
How it works
- 8 weeks, onlineÂ
- Self-paced lessons you can move through on your own time
- Weekly live Zoom call (Fridays) for support, clarity, and connection
-
Private community space (not Facebook) to connect with like-minded artists and share your work
Â
What we’ll focus on
We’ll work small to large while exploring:
-  Process — how you begin, move, and respond
-  Color — intuition, limits, and play
-  Composition — seeing what’s working and building from it
-  Mindset — staying calm, open, and present
Each piece supports the others. This is how flow becomes repeatable.
Â
Who this is for
- Â Artists whose work feels tight or overworked
- Â Artists who feel excited but overwhelmed
- Â Artists returning to their practice or starting fresh
- Anyone wanting a freer, more sustainable way to make art
Q&AÂ
Â
Is this for beginners or experienced artists?
Both. This workshop is for anyone whose work feels tight, overworked, or stuck—whether you’re new to abstract work or have been practicing for years. The focus is on process, not skill level.
Do I need to work in abstraction?
Abstraction is the main lens, but the ideas apply across styles. If you’re open to looseness, experimentation, and process-based work, you’ll get a lot out of this workshop.
How much time do I need each week?
About 2–4 hours total. The lessons are self-paced and flexible, and the weekly Zoom call is there for support—not pressure. You can do more if you want, but you don’t have to.
What if I miss a Zoom call?
All Zoom calls will be recorded and available to watch later.
What materials do I need?
Use what you already have. I’ll share suggestions for supplies that support looseness and flow, but there’s no required list or expensive setup.
Will I get feedback on my work?
Yes, during the weekly Zoom calls. Feedback is optional, supportive, and focused on helping you see what’s working rather than fixing or judging your work.
Is this about making finished pieces?
This workshop is more about building a strong practice than producing polished outcomes. Finished work may happen, but the real goal is creating work that feels alive and sustainable over time.
Is there a refund policy?
Because this is a live program with limited spots, all sales are final.
Please reach out if you have questions before enrolling.
I feel stuck or overwhelmed—will this help?
Yes. This workshop is designed for artists who feel excited but scattered, tight in their work, or unsure how to move forward. We focus on calming the process so flow can return.

I'm Nino.
I’m an abstract artist and designer with over 27 years of experience, dedicated to exploring authenticity through the balance of creativity and design. My work thrives on curiosity, experimentation, and a deep sense of freedom—pushing boundaries while staying true to artistic intuition.
I love helping others discover their unique artistic voices, whether through my original artwork, prints, or immersive workshops. My goal is to make the journey of self-expression both inspiring and joyful, encouraging artists to create fearlessly and embrace their own creative flow.
This workshop is an extension of my own process—blending intuitive mark-making with thoughtful composition, allowing freedom while embracing structure. It’s an experience designed to help you break through creative limitations and create work that feels alive, exciting, and uniquely yours.
What Artists Are Saying
Â
" I learned the real importance of doing things again and again to develop confidence in mark making and process.
This workshop reminded me how fun and experimental the painting process can be - just try something, if it doesn't work, add something else. It's just paint!"
- Darlene Laguna
"I feel a lightness and more joy has been brought back into my practice."
-Â Barbara Helton
"If you feel in a rut with your painting, this is the class to experiment, have fun, make connections, and get inspiration as well as learning a new way of painting.
Also, found doing a live class with other artists can add a lot to the painting experience in terms of learning, inspiration, and enjoyment.. And that includes having a great and relaxed instructor."
- Marla Brandt
Â
"I think when we put ourselves in situations where we find others in a like-minded community, we can connect on really beautiful levels, build bridges, find our tribes, find other "weirdos" willing to bare insecurities, self doubt, and help each other to stretch boundaries.
I really enjoyed how Nino mixes his paints together to blend on the canvas, showing thick and thin textures, colors that might be completey different, yet somehow come together cohesively. I also loved the little pre painting exercises to get creativity and ideas moving.
- Tiffani Wetherbee
“With Nino guidance, painting the area over that I thought was perfect but was Improved by the chance. The laying out the paints ahead of time gave me a freedom terrific.”
- Carol Prior

“Nino’s Workshop was such a treat on so many levels. The small group format allowed for a relaxed and supportive environment. Nino did demonstrations everyday to get us going and also sparked discussions about why we create, and how we overcome obstacles and maintain our curiosity as artists. The depth of instruction was incredible and the variety of exercises gave us the opportunity to look at many different approaches to our own work. Can’t wait for the next one!”
