Intuitive Drawing & Painting
Break free from traditional rules and explore spontaneous, intuitive creation. Using methods inspired by automatism and improvisation, your instructor will guide you to let go of conscious control and allow your subconscious to guide the process. Through constraints, prompts, and various materials, you experiment with both abstract and recognizable forms.
After the initial stage, we introduce strategies to revise and refine your work while keeping the focus on play and creative freedom. This class helps you loosen up, embrace unpredictability, and discover new possibilities on the canvas. Ready to see where your creativity leads? Join us!
