点评:I found Bruce's class on his website as I was searching for a painting class in Ubud. Before taking Bruce's class, I had no idea what the class was going to be like for me. I went to Ubud on a solo trip as an escape to heal and relax. My problem wAs I had severe anxiety problem and issues with my family back home in Jakarta. Except I knew the Color Art Therapy from the website looked very appealing to me.
So I decided to take a 3 days class , since it comes with a 10% discount.
From the first day, I already felt very comfortable with Bruce, we got along perfectly right away, and the result I made was beyond my expectation. I first learned how to paint various types of lines with black pigment, using different brushes. Then we color it using color pigments. I love using vibrant colors in my paintings, but the wet on wet black and color pigment technique was very new to me. It was a truly natural flowing process for me. We used different types of nylon brushes, and pigment paints. It was very enjoyable and relaxing moment. And the result was amazing .
The second day I did a bit of exercise using pastels, with the black pigment painting from the first day. The next thing I did was an interesting one. Bruce first showed me different mythical figures. Then, he asked me to do black pigment painting where with mythical figures using my own version. I was totally blank at first, but then slowly but surely, I made another nice surprising result. I incorporated improvisation of the lines exercise from the before as well as from my own previous painting experience.
On the third day which is the last,
Bruce made me do a new mythical painting and paint pigments on a dry canvas. So I drew a new one and colored it and Bruce said that this one was even better. It has more life to it. Cute and Semi- Abstract. Bruce said that my paintings from Mythical journey came to be my own style , to which is like Pop Art and similar to Keith Haring. Maybe it’s because Pop Art is my favorite genre and I did pop art style painting before.
I love taking Bruce's class, every minute wAs so breath taking. The art I learned was new, healing and totally and out of the box creativity which was all beyond my imagination. All of the creative process was was such a release. I did what I never thought possible. I felt so free and relaxed to express the whole time. The studio in his home is also spacious , homey and very tranquil.The vibe in Ubud also adds a nice artsy element. Bruce is an incredible amazing art teacher, who is very compassionate patient , passionate and also an intriguing human being. He makes us play around with our art with fun and joy , purely from our heart. And most of all, he teaches with positivity and love.
Now, I'm not so anxious anymore, and feel so much more peaceful and happier.
I am so happy taking Bruce's class. I wiIl definately join again when I return to Ubud. I highly recommend everyone to join the next time you plan to go to Bali. Stay in Ubud and discover your own magical art journey.
Thank you Bruce.
See you soon!
翻译:当我在乌布寻找绘画课程时,我在他的网站上找到了布鲁斯的课程。在上布鲁斯的课之前,我不知道这门课对我来说会是什么样子。我独自旅行去了乌布,作为一种逃避治疗和放松的方式。我的问题是我有严重的焦虑问题以及与我在雅加达老家的家人的问题。除了我知道网站上的色彩艺术疗法看起来对我很有吸引力。
所以我决定参加 3 天的课程,因为它有 10% 的折扣。
从第一天开始,我就和Bruce相处的很融洽,一下子就相处的很融洽,结果也出乎我的意料。我首先学习了如何使用不同的画笔用黑色颜料绘制各种类型的线条。然后我们用彩色颜料给它上色。我喜欢在我的画作中使用鲜艳的色彩,但湿对湿的黑色和彩色颜料技术对我来说是非常新鲜的。对我来说,这是一个真正自然的流动过程。我们使用了不同类型的尼龙刷和颜料颜料。这是非常愉快和放松的时刻。结果是惊人的。
第二天我用粉彩做了一些练习,用的是第一天的黑色颜料画。我做的下一件事很有趣。布鲁斯首先向我展示了不同的神话人物。然后,他让我用我自己的版本用黑色颜料画神话人物。起初我完全是一片空白,但后来慢慢地但肯定地,我又做出了另一个令人惊讶的好结果。我结合了以前的线条练习以及我自己以前的绘画经验的即兴创作。
第三天,也就是最后一天,
布鲁斯让我画了一幅新的神话画,在干画布上画颜料。所以我画了一个新的并给它上色,布鲁斯说这个更好。它有更多的生命。可爱和半抽象。 Bruce 说我的Mythical journey 画成了我自己的风格,有点像Pop Art,跟Keith Haring 很像。也许是因为波普艺术是我最喜欢的流派,我以前画过波普艺术风格的画。
我喜欢上 Bruce 的课,每一分钟都令人叹为观止。我学到的艺术是新的、治愈的,而且完全是开箱即用的创造力,这一切都超出了我的想象。所有的创作过程都是这样的释放。我做了我认为不可能的事。我感到如此自由和放松来表达整个时间。他家的工作室也很宽敞,温馨而宁静。乌布的氛围也增添了一种很好的艺术元素。 Bruce 是一位令人难以置信的艺术老师,他非常富有同情心、耐心、热情,也是一个有趣的人。他让我们纯粹发自内心地以乐趣和快乐的方式玩弄我们的艺术。最重要的是,他以积极和爱心的态度进行教学。
现在,我不再那么焦虑了,感到更加平静和快乐。
我很高兴上布鲁斯的课。当我回到乌布时,我一定会再次加入。强烈推荐大家下次打算去巴厘岛的时候加入。留在乌布,探索您自己的神奇艺术之旅。
谢谢布鲁斯。
再见!
