Intuitive abstract painting is a creative process that encourages self-expression and exploration without the constraints of traditional rules and techniques. This class focuses on the experience of painting itself allowing participant's to connect with their emotions and intuition. By letting go of preconceived notions about what the finished piece should look like, painters embrace spontaneity, often resulting in unexpected and unique creations. 

The beauty of intuitive painting lies in its ability to foster personal growth and reflection. As painters engage with their canvas, they often uncover hidden aspects of themselves and gain new insights into their thoughts and feelings. this process can be both therapeutic and enlightening, providing a safe space to explore one's inner world. 

In a typical intuitive painting session, artists might start by selecting colors that resonate with their current mood. They then apply paint to the canvas in freeform shapes and patterns, guided by their instincts rather than a predetermined plan. Layers are built up over time, each one contributing to the evolving narrative of the piece.

Ultimately, intuitive painting celebrates the journey rather than the destination, allowing artists to find joy in the act of creation and to appreciate the beauty of imperfection. Whether practiced by seasoned artists or beginners, it offers a fulfilling and inspiring way to engage with art on a deeply personal level.
