What does the word INTUITIVE mean to you? Here’s what I found in Webster’s Dictionary: Able to know or understand something because of feelings rather than facts or proof.

In the watercolor workshop I gave on July 25th, “Let’s Paint Intuitive Field Flowers”, we practiced how to paint colorful field flowers using our intuition vs. expectations.

What kind of mindset is needed to paint with intuition?

• Give up our controlling mindset.
• Relax and free our minds of clutter and worries.
• Open up our hearts and absorb all the magic that enters.
• Draw shapes and flowers without putting expectations.
• Find the beauty in anything we draw or paint.
• Say, “I’m ok the way I am”.

“Living in the moment means letting go of the past and not waiting for the future. It means living your life consciously, aware that each moment you breathe is a gift.” -Oprah Winfrey-

I never thought giving a free on-line watercolor class would bring me so much joy, appreciation, and gratitude. When I saw the beautiful work created by the students in my class, I forgot about the hard work it takes to pull off a workshop such as this one.

Here is a student project gallery. Aren’t they great?

I appreciate all the comments from the students who participated in the class.
