It gives me great pleasure to write this Testimonial as Elisabeth Vismans truly has a gift in Art and even just as profound is her ability to teach. Her Expressive Painting Class focused on Intuitive painting from within in an effort to develop confidence, self-exploration and to be open.
There was no pressure “to produce” anything at all — only to appreciate our own “work of art.” Our class was urged to recognize our behavior patterns : rigid or perfect — whatever, and to think about what tendencies show up in our work or clothes. Free expression for me was odd and difficult, but as I progressed, I felt more and more comfortable. I became “bolder” and less “timid’ !! We were encouraged to find our own painting style/voice.
Elisabeth wanted us to “enjoy the process” and have an open mind, go out of our comfort zone and let go of self-judgment. As I did just that, I was happier and more free-spirited !! She like to say : Be courageous ! Trust yourself !
I so appreciated the opportunity to have found this class and our instructor, Elisabeth Vismans, who makes you feel valued for being YOURSELF !!
I’ve taken a number of classes with Elisabeth and love her approach to combining instruction and knowledge with freedom for her students to follow their instincts and intuition. Definitely encourage others to try her classes — I have learned a lot and love tapping into the joy of creating. ~ Julie Kaplan
PLAY WITH ABSTRACTION Elisabeth’s Abstract class offered many excellent tips and examples about the wildly artistic processes artists use to create. the discipline of making time to experiment, to look and truly observe, to feel and express that feeling and the courage to scrap en re-do work, this was encouraging and underscored the critical importance of the process of creativity. Viewing works by fellow students and the accompanying conversations and critiques were equally important and insightful. I loved the experience and will pursue more classes with her. ~ MB
