My Signature Workshops
Art has a way of bringing us back to ourselves. These workshops are gentle invitations to pause, play, and reconnect with your creative spark. Each one offers a unique way to explore, let go, and create with heart — no experience needed, just a willingness to play.
Workshop 1: The Painted Oracle
Unlock Your Intuition Through Watercolour Art
The Painted Oracle is a playful, intuitive watercolour workshop that blends creativity with inner reflection. We begin by exploring colour, mark-making, and different tools and techniques. As you create, I gently weave in intuitive practices that help you tune in and listen to what’s unfolding on the page.
By the end, we’ll gather as a group to reflect and discover personal messages within each other’s paintings — creating a shared moment of connection, insight, and creative magic.
What You’ll Experience:
A guided introduction to watercolour techniques and mark-making
Intuitive practices woven throughout the creative process
Time to play, explore, and trust your instincts
A moment to uncover messages within each other’s paintings
A renewed sense of clarity and connection through your artwork
Workshop 2: The Spark
Ignite Your Creativity Through Mixed Media Play
The Spark is a playful mixed media workshop designed to help you reconnect with your curiosity and discover what lights you up. Using layers of paint, texture, mark-making, and a variety of tools, you’ll get to experiment and find the mediums that speak to you.
There’s no pressure to create a perfect piece — just space to explore, follow your instincts, and let creativity lead.

–Kathy Willemse – The Painted Oracle Workshop
“Attending Dayna's intuitive paint workshop was an absolute joy from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease — the space was warm, inviting, and full of creative energy. Dayna truly had a special gift — not just for teaching, but for creating a safe, welcoming environment where everyone feels encouraged to express themselves freely. There was no pressure to “get it right” — just gentle guidance, encouragement, and plenty of space to explore and play with color and emotion. Her approach is so thoughtful and heart-centered; it really helped me let go of perfectionism and tap into something much more meaningful. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience, this workshop is a beautiful, freeing experience that I can’t recommend enough. Thank you Dayna for allowing me to express my creativity through painting.”
