The People

For many, this will be the first time creating art since childhood. For others, art may have become simply a rote exercise and a means to an end. The classes allow individuals to joyfully and freely tap into their creativity, remove blocks, explore their selves, or simply slow down. No experience is needed - in this process, everyone is a beginner each time they approach the canvas.

    


Approach

Process Painting

Take a personal journey into the surprising territory of creating directly from your intuition. Paint Your Guts Out!© teaches participants to inhabit the moment, tap into their creativity, let go of control and analysis, quiet the inner critic, and express their unique visual voice spontaneously and without judgment. Unlike technique-driven art, the process bypasses the predicted and expected – almost like dreaming on paper – proving a rich exploration into color, form and image where no formulas or rules apply.

In a respectful, non-judging atmosphere, you will learn to:

: Inhabit the moment
: Let go of control & analysis
: Quiet the inner critic
: Wake up the "right brain"
: Tap into your creative intuition
: Express your unique visual voice
: Create spontaneously
: PAINT AS IF YOU'LL BURN IT

The Benefits

Artistic/Creative
The essential artistic freedom is the right to express spontaneously and freely, unburdened by pressures to perform, produce or succeed. Learn to trust your creative intuition in a safe atmosphere that brings out your unique style.

Therapeutic/Emotional
It's satisfying and relieving to express blocks creatively and to use them as a catalyst for change. Not planning a painting allows wonder and surprise. Accepting imperfection yields compassion. Risking vulnerability connects us with others.

Meditative/Spiritual
Intuitive painting offers a unique opportunity to profoundly inhabit the razor's edge of 'the now.' It's an engaging practice of being mindful, trusting impulses, and meeting whatever arises. Some call it the 'yoga of art-making'.
