Linda says:

This course has been a game changer in my art practice. I have taken many art composition courses but Pauline’s course was packed full of nuggets and a sure path to really understanding the principles and elements of abstract painting. It helped me to rethink what I like and a clearer understanding of the activating and playing process in beginning a painting. I feel I can move on now with painting much stronger pieces.

Leonie says:

ICC is such deep learning. Where ever you are at there is something to garner from the first module right through the 'aha' moments that come, to the nuggets of "Oh I need to dive into this facet NOW". For me it IS the process itself. And it finishes off with a few more little diamonds that once again leave me feeling,"inspired and enlightened".

Nancy says:

You are a fabulous teacher. Very organized, direct and thorough. Your scaffolding is excellent. And you are very generous with your knowledge. Some of the online classes I have taken are lame compared to what you have put together. I loved all the exercises that you provided us with. (scaffolding again)

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 everyone.

  • 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?

    Access to Intuitive Composition starts immediately upon enrollment making information - such as the Art Supply list - available to you right away. Other preparatory lessons release mid-Feb. Our Welcome call is Friday March 13, 11am PST. The first Module is released on launch day, March 14, 2026 and then all following modules drop weekly thereafter on each Saturday morning.

  • 5. How long do I have access ICC?

    You have unlimited lifetime access to the Intuitive Composition Course. Lifetime access: As long as my course material is on Thinkific, (which I plan to have for quite some time) you can use this course as often as you need, review anytime and go at your own pace.

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

    The course is aimed at developing intuition and strengthening design awareness, so that remains our focus. You'll inevitably discover new supplies and approaches in this course. I share about materials during demos or later in another video or module and more importantly, I share reasons for my choices. While working intuitively and choosing what feels right, I often share my "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, (with the correct email and password) 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 start date 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 no 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 [email protected]

Laurie

Original & Insightful…

Pauline’s course was the most valuable online course I’ve taken. She opened my mind to many new ways of thinking about my art, encouraged experimentation, and provided one to one feedback that was a game-changer for me. Pauline is a gifted teacher and took great care to interact with each member of the class which is often missing in an online format.

JC says:

I can dive deeper now…

ICC has me diving deeper into the principles with more freedom, experimentation and play. I'm gaining clarity in my voice, refining my studio practice, and I'm so much fun. I'm not afraid of being stuck or unable to find a composition, 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 and her willingness to share. You'll never find a better art coach. I'm an Executive Coach and Strategic Consultant for Fortune 500 companies and I LEARN from Pauline EVERY DAY. She's gifted, giving and an extraordinary human being.

Gry says:

Incredibly professional…

"Taking the Intuitive Composition Course has been a transformative experience for me. It has shifted the way I perceive colors and composition, guiding me from a flourishing visual language to a more simplified, restrained use of color and line. This course challenged me to analyze my work in a new way, helping me develop a deeper understanding of design principles. I truly appreciate the structured yet intuitive approach!"

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.

Carolyne

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.
