A 6 week art course exploring the world of Intuitive Painting.

Learn the art of intuitive painting and exploring the process of creating rather than only being concerned with the finished product. We will be exploring how to approach the canvas, paint application, mark making, texture choice, warm vs cool colours, colour theory and layering.
Learn to listen to your intuition and trust in the creative process, discover what emerges between each layer of paint and bring out what comes naturally. To gain a better understanding of the techniques used with Intuitive Painting, we will go through the process of two different paintings as a group, step by step.
Weekly art journal activities will be assigned to allow our creative minds to continue working when not in the studio.
This course is suitable for all skill levels. Rather you have never attempted to paint before or you have a long history of painting.

Week 1

During our first class, we will go over all the materials we will be using during the course.
We will cover everything from different grades of paint, preferred paint brushes, mediums and paint markers. Please note you do not have to have all art supplies by the first class. If you have questions or are uncertain on what brand of paint to buy, we will be going over everything here.
Please make sure you do bring a canvas measuring 8” x 12” or larger, as we will be beginning our first project of the term. We will then explore the colour wheel and discuss the importance of colour theory when it comes to Intuitive Painting.

With its charming wooden floors and many windows, this cozy space is full of creativity which I can’t wait to share with you.
