About CreativePath52

The story

Damian Sémonin is an artist and teacher based in Cornwall, UK. Since 2018, he has been teaching at the Cornish Craft Barn — welcoming over a thousand students through his studio doors to explore painting, drawing, and mixed media.

His approach is simple: creativity is a practice, not a talent. Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or returning to art after years away, Damian’s workshops are designed to get you making — and to keep you making, week after week.

CreativePath52 is the online extension of that studio. Named for the 52 weeks in a year, it’s built around the idea that showing up consistently — just once a week — is enough to transform your creative life.

Light, atmosphere, and flow — the foundations of watercolour painting for all levels.

Bold colour and fast decisions — acrylics for expressive painting with real results.

Slow, rich, and rewarding — oils for depth and texture in your landscape and portrait work.

Observation, line, and form — drawing as the foundation of all visual art.

Cornwall’s coastlines, harbours, and streets — sketchbook in hand, world as your studio.

Collage, paint, ink, and texture — mixed media for the experimentally-minded creative.
