What would happen if you stopped trying to paint ‘perfectly' and simply responded to what was unfolding on the canvas? In this six-week course, participants will explore intuitive painting through guided exercises, layered techniques, and creative prompts that encourage experimentation and personal expression. Together we'll discover how slowing down, observing, and trusting the process can lead to unexpected and meaningful artwork.
