Create your own intuitive art!

To start, you’ll want to create something abstract on the page. It can be hard to draw without having a particular picture in mind, but try to make marks that feel good to make and see what different art materials inspire you to create.

Next, you’ll draw something more figurative somewhere else on your page. Think of an object that brings you joy, and put it down on paper! And, even though you’re drawing something from real life, don’t feel pressure to make it perfect—let yourself play with getting the general idea of the thing on the page, maybe adding a little whimsy along the way.

Finally, play around with ways you can connect these two objects on the page to create a complete piece of art. Look for similar shapes and colors you can use to tie them together, or just step out of your thinking brain and let your hand do what it wants!

Whatever you create, please share your work in the project gallery so your willingness to show up in front of the blank page and make something can inspire us all.

Materials

You can use whatever materials you’d like for this class—feel free to play around with mixed media, follow your intuition on what’s calling to you, and enjoy the feeling of working with different materials. Marie is using: graphite pencils, pen, colored pencils, and watercolors.
