This class compliments Cara’s Abstract Intuitive Painting Class and helps us gather the tools we need to let the creative process flow freely and openly. When we paint intuitively with acrylics, we step away from rigid plans or agendas, allowing ourselves to move with ease from one step to the next. We build our artwork in layers, embracing spontaneity and creative play. This open-hearted approach brings about rich variation and depth in our paintings, unlocking new possibilities with every stroke. However, it can sometimes feel intimidating to try something new on a canvas you’ve already started. That’s why this class introduces a “toolbox” of creative techniques you can explore and apply, empowering you to add fresh elements and textures to your work with confidence. Not only will these tools help enrich your paintings, but they’ll also make the creative process more fun and adventurous. Each class includes instruction, guidance, and time to experiment with different creative tools used in intuitive painting.
