What is Intuitive Painting?

​Intuitive Painting is not concerned with results, techniques, making something look good, or performing to an audience. It is concerned only with the creative journey and the soul development of the artist. The art that emerges from this process is deeply personal and naturally happens through form, color, senses, sounds, and language. It is a practice of trust, flexibility, courage and compassion. 

​Intuitive Painting is a creative process that combines intuition, play and freedom of expression. Open to all levels of artistic skills, it invites participants to engage in art-making free from:
​
  • Perfectionism by silencing your inner critic
  • Comparison – by accepting the uniqueness of each human being
  • And the constant need of external approval – by turning inward to find self-worth
 
Intuitive Painting is also considered a spiritual practice that invites you to engage with your creativity by making something out of nothing. True creativity is born when we face the blank page (or canvas) without any guidelines, expectations, or specific goals. To explore the unknown through the flow of brush and color, is to accept mistakes and imperfections as treasures to be discovered along the way. To dive in into this process is to leave nothing out, releasing fear, anxiety and shame from all aspects of your life.
