Curious about intuitive painting? Ready to unleash your creativity? Want to make art in a welcoming community where your identities and stories are celebrated? Let’s paint bold and colorful flowers together!
This workshop is designed to give you a hands-on and in-depth look into intuitive painting and abstract expressionism in the form of painting florals. It's for anyone wanting access to more freedom, authenticity, and courage in their painting practice.
I'll guide you through my intuitive painting process and share: My integration of a whole hearted practice with including meditation and journaling, painting demonstrations aplenty, mark making and layering techniques, my favorite paints and tools, color mixing tips and tricks, and how to use fresh flowers and reference photos for inspiration.
This isn’t a paint by numbers class. Those serve their purpose, but I don’t want you to paint like me or everyone else. Here you’ll tell your own story and explore your unique style.
Open to all levels. Seasoned painters and first-time painters are wholeheartedly encouraged to join. If you're a beginner who has never painted or an experienced painter feeling creatively stuck and in need of a boost of fresh inspiration, this course is for you!
