Creative Salon. Make what you can’t yet name.

For those taking their first creative steps — and those seeking a new direction, technique, or spark.

The blank page can be intimidating at any stage. A hint of colour, a suggestion of mood, a composition to explore. Enough gentle guidance to make that step possible.

Four women at a round stone table in a garden, seen from above. Large sheets of white paper in front of each of them, still nearly empty. An open box of watercolour pans, blue pencils, brushes in a glass, cups of tea, biscuits and open sandwiches, a vase of purple and yellow flowers, and a small speaker on the table. Dappled sunlight and a bank of pink bougainvillea behind.
In the garden. Watercolour, tea, flowers — and paper that is still almost empty.
Close view of two pairs of hands working at a table. In front, a brush is laid across a sheet of paper covered with six loose blooms in crimson and dark ink. Beside it, an open bottle of coloured drawing ink, a wide flat brush, jars of clear and pink-tinted water, a coffee cup and a half-drunk glass of white wine.
Ink and watercolour on paper.
A photograph of a staged still life — a white ceramic jug, a green gourd, a yellow squash, red currants and trailing greenery on a white stone plinth — laid over a second photograph of a loose watercolour of a similar arrangement, painted in greens, citrus yellow and magenta, with a box of watercolour pans beside it.A session in a clothing showroom: women seated at small wooden tables with sheets of white paper and coloured pencils, a glass of rosé, a strip of colour swatches. Racks of garments on gold rails behind them, a tall arched mirror, a lit taper candle and a large arrangement of flowers and fruit in the foreground. A black-and-white photograph of the staged still life — a white jug, tomatoes, grapes and a candle on a carved stone plinth — is laid over the centre.
From Karina’s own Salon pages: a staged still life, and a session held in a showroom.
Black and white photograph. Karina Cohen kneels on a large sheet of paper spread across a tiled floor, one hand planted on it, the other arm extended, mid-gesture. Black ink is thrown and pooled across the paper. Three men watch from the background of the room, beside a tall window and a heavy carved sideboard.
