FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. Is this course for me?

    ICC is designed to help artists hone their intuition, strengthen their design sense and create "true-to-you" art, you’ll see me work as I discuss how I use intuition and intellect to guide. Strong focus is on assisting artists to listen to their "within" while they develop their composition skills. I share ways of tapping into your own creative intelligence while giving you key information to help you notice the nuances of composition in your art. Please note that this course is in English with no subtitles.

  • 2. How much experience is necessary to take ICC?

    You can take this course from any vantage point or amount of experience, however, if you've never painted at all, then this course is too advanced. As a professional artist, I’m always learning & bring new awarenesses and expertise to ICC. That said, you’re always evolving too. Seasoned artists have taken ICC as well as beginners. Course participants boast with rave reviews. There are nuggets and gems for all.

  • 3. How do you my handle questions?

    Each Module has a Q&A Space for questions which are addressed on our weekly Q&A Call. Artists are also invited to submit an image of their work with their question from that Module for specific feedback. Q&A Zoom Calls are recorded in case you miss the call.

  • 4. When does ICC Start? Any other details?

    The ICC Welcome is Friday Jan 3, 2025 at 11am PST. This and all Q&A calls are Fridays 11am PST, on Zoom, recorded & uploaded to the platform. The course is delivered in video & text form. Calls are 1 hour or a brief 15 minute check-in if there are no questions. Participants receive a weekly call link. Modules are released one a week starting Saturday, Jan 4, 2025. Participants have sufficient time to review preliminary Set-Up content. There are several videos within each Module, often a downloadable document, exercises or assignments. Video play speed and volume can be adjusted on your end. BREATHE week happens after Module 6.

  • 5. How long do I have access ICC?

    Artists have 10 full months to use this ICCourse material, ending Nov 5, 2025. If you join after the active ICC start date, Jan 4, 2025, your finish date will be adjusted accordingly to give you 10 months, plenty of time to go at your own pace and spread your process across the calendar but succinct enough to stay committed to the development of your art practice.

  • 6. Will I learn about materials & techniques in ICC?

    The course is aimed at developing intuition and strengthening design awareness, so remains the focus. Inadvertently you'll discover new supplies and approaches in this course. I share about materials during a demo or later in another video or module. Working intuitively and grabbing what feels right, I often share what and why. 
I provide a general material list of "should-haves" and I encourage artists to use what they have already. You can also access my Art Supplies list on my website and the link I provide for Art Supplies in the course.

  • 7. Do you provide tech help?

    Things are be pretty turnkey within Thinkific but if you have tech issues with Thinkific, Facebook, Zoom, Stripe or your computer, I always suggest restarting your device, ensure you've logged in properly, and your apps have been updated. 
If trouble persists, consult my handy Tech Lessons in the NEED TO KNOW Section in ICC & the Facebook group. Anything outside that, do seek resolution with your personal tech support person as I’m not a tech-expert. If you have Log-In Issues, navigate to my free course Log-In Problems.

  • 8. What if I'm unhappy with my purchase?

    Well, I’d be sad, but if you're really unhappy, just email me before Module 1 is complete - within 6 days of the official start date (Jan 4, 2025) to get a full refund minus processing & transaction fees. If you started ICC late, you have Module 1 to make your decision. If you proceed beyond Module 1, the refund will not longer be valid or on offer.

  • 9. I still have a question, how can I contact you?

    I'm happy to answer any questions you may have that are not addressed here. If you don't hear back from me, please come back and review the FAQs in case you missed the answer here. Email your question to paulinejansart@gmail.com

Added Value

I love sharing and helping artists. Enjoy the bonuses offered in ICC.

  • STUDIO TIPS

    Problem solving is one of my favoured skills and I don't hold back sharing them. You will gain more creative time in the studio using the many helpful tips on offer!

  • INSPIRATION

    I love to inspire! Having the willingness to explore, fail and pivot serves every artist well and ultimately lightens the load. Resilience is one of my super-powers! You'll gain access to several sources of inspiration: visual, sensory, & experiential. Enjoy!

  • SNEAK PEEK

    I offer a sneak peek into my painting process on larger pieces. These pieces are made for me but I've fired up the camera so you can watch, listen and glean from what I'm learning while working on 3 big paintings.

Cynthia says:

I knew I wanted to take my painting expression to a new place. This course was the perfect tool!! I’m VERY impressed with Pauline’s work & the professionalism put into this course. Just who you are is a lot and I feel grateful to have had this opportunity to learn from you. I love your work too! What I learned about myself is that I am not afraid to express, experiment & have a very strong intuition. You & this course gave me a voice & tools to express in a different way & with more knowledge behind what I am doing - this is the working edge. I am on a steep learning curve right now - never used acrylics & other ingredients offered. I feel happy & excited to participate in this trajectory of art expression and composition.

Mary says:

When I came across Pauline’s work on Instagram and saw that she would be offering an intuitive composition class, I made a very quick decision that it was time to resurrect a part of me that I’d put on a shelf for decades. I signed up without any background in painting, carrying only a long-held need to live a more creative life. Wow, I had no idea that I would find the perfect teacher to help my launch! Her lessons have been like meditations in not only creating, but also living. How lucky to have been touched by her wisdom! It will take me a long time to go through all the modules in the kind of depth required for growth and I am certain I’ll be back in the course again soon.

2024 ICC Artist, Julie says:

Intuitive Composition is the best art course I have ever taken. Pauline’s instruction is very well organized and it is clear that she has spent a lot of time and energy on developing the course. With Pauline’s instruction, I was finally able to identify and tap into my personal artistic style, something that has eluded me for years! I’m so thankful that I took this course and I would recommend it to any artist wanting to explore their unique artistic voice.

Helen says:

Incredibly professional…

I would like to thank Pauline for the incredibly professional way she put this course together and supported the group. The level of detail provided in the videos is terrific and I love the bite-sized chunks of learning. Too long and it becomes hard to concentrate I find, so the mix of longer and shorter sessions is great. I like the way she got straight to the point and was so well organized. I have done other courses over the years and I think hers is up there with the best of them. The handouts were so helpful and I plan on starting the course again as soon as I get to the end as there is so much information provided. I now want to take the time to integrate what I have learned into my practice. One of the great things is I now use so many more of my materials and have them all open and ready. I have a new love of charcoal! The thing that I will always remember are your two key words - exploration and appreciation. I now make time for both and have allowed myself to explore without pressure for results. Thanks again for the generosity you have shown in sharing your learning. It’s been wonderful and I’m so glad I decided to take part.

Michele says:

Valuable learning…

The ICCourse was a valuable learning experience for me. I enjoyed every aspect of the class - especially the format, pace and the depth of information supplied. I learned key principles of design, colour/value and composition that will serve me well in growing as an artist. Pauline was very accessible and responsive to all my questions and emails. Her wealth of fundamental knowledge and experience really makes a difference in moving forward in my work and it was so instrumental in the delivery of the material. Thank you for this great course.

I'm making work that looks like me…

Choosing ICC was very much the right move for me. There are many courses online to choose from and the moment I laid eyes on Pauline‘s work I knew that’s what I wanted to do and was so thrilled when I found out that she offered courses. I had to wait six months to start the course because of the timings and then the other courses came up in the meantime but I held my nerve and waited and I’m so happy I did. I’m a reasonable beginner and very new to abstract but I feel so empowered and my work and understanding of my craft has improved out of sight. I’m confident in how to start and what to do and also when to know to step back, leave it and to come back to it. I find myself so excited on this journey and can’t wait to continue it as I know that I’m just getting better and better every time I paint. I can’t speak highly enough of Paulines fabulous teaching as it makes it so easy. Going back to basics certainly the right way because it reprograms all the bad habits we have all learnt and allows us to tap into our creativity and intuition and make it our own work which is so important. I love that it is my own work it’s not Pauline‘s style it’s mine and it’s nobody else’s but mine.

Jenelle says:

I can dive deeper now…

I wanted to share how valuable ICC has been for me. I'm an alumni and this year I was able to dive deeper into the principles with more freedom to experiment and play. As a result I'm gaining clarity in my voice, refining what works in my studio practice efficiently (I work full time), and I'm having more fun than ever. I am never afraid of being stuck in the merky middle or unable to find a composition, I don't have that "lost feeling" -I believe in my ability and trust my process. I'm in awe of all that Pauline gives to artists, the community and her willingness share and care. You will never find a better art coach than Pauline. She hasn't known this about me (until now 🙂),… I work as an Executive Coach and Strategic Consultant for Fortune 500 companies and I LEARN from her EVERY DAY. She is gifted, giving and an extraordinary human being and I feel so blessed to be in her circle.

Original & Insightful…

I registered for this course because I'd heard so many wonderful things about Pauline as a teacher. I was not disappointed. The course modules were well-organized and presented with lots of examples and demonstrations, allowing students to find the best way into the material for them. The Facebook group was positive and encouraging. I particularly appreciated how attentive Pauline was to members posts, providing a good balance between enthusiastic support and questions that led us to think more deeply about our work. The assignments were original and insightful. Several of them have become my 'go-to' entry way into art-making when I first arrive in the studio. I finished the course with a better understanding of how to use the principles and elements of composition to improve work and to find my way when paintings stall. Thanks Pauline for your generosity, authenticity and willingness to share your own art journey with us.
