🧑🏽‍🎨What is intuitive painting? In our painting, there is a lot of permission to explore and create. This is not a typical ‘art’ class in which you will learn techniques and methods of painting; instead you will be expertly guided to tap in and listen to your intuition and paint from your heart. We learn to pay attention to our own intuitive voice that is free from beliefs and concepts. In this way paintings happen spontaneously, unplanned and unexpected!

🖌️ All materials provided (high quality paint, brushes, paper, smocks) - just bring yourself! Our experienced facilitators will guide those new to intuitive painting and/or new to painting at home.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I've been painting at the studio (both virtual and in-person) for less than a year and have received so many gifts already as a result of the process. It's POWERFUL. It's beyond putting paint to paper. It has changed my outlook both in class and out in the wider world.

Claudia lovingly guides you towards your own intuition so that you can re-learn to trust your instinct and remember what feels good. Then you paint it. It's play, it's meeting the dark parts of you with love, it's coming home to yourself.

It's hard to put the experience into words. You should try it for yourself, everyone gets something different in each class. You will have fun painting -- it's about the experience of creating rather than an end product. And that's so freeing. It takes the pressure off. We don't do much in life just for ourselves, just for the joy of existing. It feels great not to "produce" and just to be. And to have a welcoming, safe space to do that through art. Sometimes we paint things that we couldn't speak with words." - Megan B.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"I don't know where to start really -- this place is magical. I came across the painting studio after going down a rabbit hole on google titled "how to get out of my head and back into my art." Not only has this experience given me back the childlike joy from putting color on paper, but it has allowed me to face the challenges that come up when you're a perfectionist, or your mind is scattered, or you just don't know where to go next and you want to stop.

If you've never painted before, if you are an experienced artist, or if you are just curious, this place is for you. They have 4 and 8 week classes where you get to watch yourself unfold, or try their once a month drop-in class, where you get guidance from CCE team members." - Sabrina K.
