The Intuitive Painter- A fluid and Heavy Body Acrylics Adventure

September 19, 2010 – Septmeber 24, 2010

It has been said that if you don’t listen to your intuition, it will stop talking to you, Nothing could be more true when it comes to painting. No matter your experience or techinical expertise, intuition is the guiding force behind creative fulfilment. Painting in both the studio and enplein air, this late-Septmeber island workshop will teach you about holding on and letting go, and the three essential qualities in all creative painting- patience, persistence and trust. By experimenting with acylic paints and stepping outside you comfort zone, intuition will take you into the limitless world of abstraction. Once there, wonderment will take hold. An out-of-this world trip of a lifetime.

Claudia is an elected member of the Society of Canadain Artists, a painter, a graphic artists and a dreamer. her painting and extensive teaching experience reflect her free spirit and joi de vivre.
