Intuitive Composition is designed to help artists create "their own unique art". You'll see me work as I discuss intuition and composition however, the course focus is on assisting artists to listen to their own intuition, creating "their work" while learning to strengthening their design sense. I paint in several videos so you'll see me creating while I discuss and demonstrate. I am doing so in order to share with you ways of tapping into your own creative being while giving you heaps of information to help you understand composition in your art. Teaching you techniques & tricks about materials is not my goal or focus. I teach and support "you" to listen to your intuition and to paint "from and like you" while making stronger and more authentic art.
You can take this course from any vantage point or amount of experience. One artist took the Intuitive Composition Course, just 3 weeks after receiving her first paint set. She absolutely loved the course and is doing beautifully in her art practice. There are seasoned artists as well that have taken this course who equally rave about it. There is something for everyone.
While you are enrolled in the course, I will be addressing artists' questions in the Thinkific Question Space in each Module and in the weekly Q&A Zoom Calls. Unfortunately I am unable to respond privately to questions via email, however the Question Space provided serves far more artists, as we often have similar questions, and is easily accessible in each Module..
Sure! ICC Jan 2023 Starts January 6. The previous run of The Intuitive Composition Course started May 6 2022 and runs thru the end of 2022. This & all following Q&A calls will always be at 11am PST Fridays. This call will be recorded & uploaded to the platform for members to re-visit or to catch the recording if they missed the live call. The course is delivered in video & text form and weekly calls are Q&A so don't worry if the call time doesn't fit in your schedule. You will still gain access to all the content you need, including the call. Calls are 1 hour unless there are no questions. Then it's a brief 15 minute check-in. Module 1 is released Saturday, May 7, 2022. That is one day after the Welcome Call. Things are set up this way so participants have enough time prior to the first module to review preliminary Set-Up content. There are several videos within each Module, often a downloadable document, exercises or assignments. You are able to go through ICC content as many times as you like. These videos can be viewed at your convenience and have adjustable listening speeds. Modules are released one a week. There are BONUS lessons included as well. BREATHE week happens after Module 6 Hope that provided answers for any other questions you had.
ICC 2022 - runs May 6, 2022 - Dec 31, 2022. Plenty of time to go at your own pace and spread your process across the calendar but succinct enough to stay committed to developing your creative intuition and art practice.
I hear you! I love art materials too! I think we artists all adore them. You will absolutely discover more about materials in this course. I must stress though, that's not what this course is about. I share about the materials I use while I use them or later in another video or module. I work very intuitively and grab what feels right, often sharing the why. I provide a material list of "should-haves" but I encourage artists to use what they have already and not get distracted by specific supplies. As you know, our materials are not how we create amazing art. We are. : ) I encourage artists with material questions to crowd-source in the Facebook group as I remain focused & dedicate my teachings to Intuitive Composition.
Things should be pretty turnkey but in the even that you have any technical issues with Thinkific, Facebook, Zoom, Stripe or your computer you can consult my handy Tech Lessons in the NEED TO KNOW Section or best to first update your apps and restart your device. Anything that doesn't get resolved should then be dealt with by your own technical support person or corresponding company help-line on their websites. I am not an expert in any of these fields.
Well, I would be sad. But if you're really unhappy with the course, just email me before Module 1 is complete - that is within 6 days of the official start date - to get a full refund minus processing & transaction fees.
I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have that are not addressed here. Send me an email at [email protected].
Hear from other artists of Intuitive Composition
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.
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.
It has been a very inspiring and rewarding course. I also made a quick decision to join this course. It was just challenging enough without being too daunting and was professionally presented. Pauline is warm and supportive and is generous with sharing herself and her experience. I particularly liked the step by step organisation of information which put everything into perspective for me. I’m am hoping to continue working with Pauline or doing the course again next year.
