Intuitive Painting and Movement: An Intuitive Painting Retreat

Hi Friends!
This will be a fantastic weekend retreat at the beautiful Atlantic Center for the Arts 
main campus! 
What is intuitive painting? Intuitive painting is painting by beginning with mark making free of a plan and following intuition, and mindfulness in the body and mind.  One learns to respond to mark making with layers of paint.  In return, from a little line or mark images, symbols, or stories may emerge.  
You paint in layers so your first layer may be covered up completely as a warm up or part of the painting may show through the next layers. It is a very freeing experience for artists used to painting subject matter.  I paint both traditionally, and intuitively.  Intuitive painting can lead to an abstract painting or an expressionistic painting with imagery involved. Either way, the mark making leads you.  
As we say in art therapy "trust the process".  (Quote by art therapist Shaun Mcniff).
Intuitive painting is a technique used by artists and art therapists.
I am both a professional artist and Art Therapist with a masters degree in art therapy.  
Watch this little video I made on intuitive painting.
