In this class, we are going to do some intuitive painting without worrying about the outcome of our pieces. I love to create in this way because I always learn new things and make new discoveries. When you pull the tape off your pieces, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how well your pieces come out.

I want you to use a color palette you wouldn't normally choose. I use one of my favorite design books to inspire color palettes... then I pull out a collection of paints and supplies that I want to create with to go with my new color palette and start painting. If you've never tried this before, or maybe you are in a rut, definitely give it a go. It is the perfect way to start creating when you feel stuck and the results are sometimes very exciting.

This class is for you if:

You love learning new techniques for your art
You are interested in learning more about intuitive painting and letting go of expectations
You love watching how others approach their art practice

Supplies:

These are the supplies I'll be using in class today. You can use any paints, mark-making tools, etc... that your heart desires to do this project. It is so open to what inspires you in the moment.

Canson xl cold press 140lb watercolor paper
artist tape
acrylic paints of your choice for the color palette you are trying out
mark making tools - I used a pencil for mark making
posca pen - I love adding extra marks at the end with my posca pen
I love using punchinella for my dots and shelf liner - so I'm using those in class
any other favorite tools you want to work with on your pieces
