Let go of the rules and go with the flow! In this class, you'll explore abstract and intuitive painting as you experiment with color, expressive brushstrokes, layering, and texture to create artwork that reflects your personal style. Rather than focusing on painting what you see, you'll learn to trust your instincts, embrace happy accidents, and discover the possibilities that emerge when you let creativity lead the way. Our instructor will guide you through techniques and creative exercises designed to help you loosen up, take artistic risks, and enjoy the process of making art. No need to have it all figured out! Just bring an open mind and let your creativity take the lead.

Topics Covered

This class will explore the intuitive painting movement and its history. Emphasis will be placed on building paintings with many layers and a variety of marks. The instructor will offer weekly prompts or techniques to inspire each layer. An introduction to the elements and principles of design will help influence your compositions. Lessons will include basic color mixing, ideas for mark making tools, how to bring inspiration into a painting, and visual symbolism.

***This class welcomes everyone, however if you have never painted before, you may enjoy starting with an acrylic basics or color mixing class before taking Intuitive Painting.
