Intuitive Painting

After 15 years of teaching Intuitive Painting in my studio I have decided to quit and let new directions open up in my life.  I have loved every minute of it and am so grateful for all these years, students and paintings, the lives that changed and the hearts that opened up.
I will keep you posted on future adventures as they arise.  I have been asked to be part of a health conference and will present some of the skills I have developed over the years to help people be more creative and in touch with their authentic selves.  If you would like to have me be part of your coaching or mentoring program please email me at carolyn_winkler@comcast.net and I will get back to you.
Weekend Workshops
Experienced artists and beginners alike have fun, let go and learn to paint in a new way. In this new way they explore and discover the Authentic Self and unlock the creativity hiding inside.  We all have inner worlds and unless we know how to access them they can’t help us in our lives.  Intuitive Painting is the most fun, easy, powerful way I have found to do exactly this.  In just one weekend you can really change your life.
No previous art experience required, all levels welcome.
This is not about better techniques of painting but finding your creative guide.  Learn to paint from a deeper sacred place without judgment, criticism or competition. Free to paint with your dreaming mind you discover the joy, healing and empowerment you carry within.
Intuitive Painting reignites your creative spark and lets you self express. Instead of getting your information from outside from someone else, you listen to your own heart and create from there. Unless we have proven techniques to tap into those sacred places we never know they are there.  One of my former students said it best.  “My life was like a submarine and the opened up my hatch.”
We paint with out a plan and watch what wants to emerge. So you can never make a mistake. Everyday is the right way and if you don’t like it you can change it.  This is the shamanic journey part, to see what the painting wants to bring to us. Usually exactly what our life needs.   We learn to let go and let come and amazing things will occur.
My goal in teaching these weekends it to let everyone know they are creative and help them have a better life. 
Weekend Workshop run Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 5pm. All you have to do is wear old clothes you can get paint on and bring a sack lunch for the break. I will provide the rest.
Cost $190 includes all art materials for the weekend. Location: Spirit Mask Studio, North Portland. Limited to 8 participants.  If you’ve taken the workshop before the cost is discounted to $170.

I wanted to announce a  New Intuitive Painting Weekend, first one after Covid, “HEALING THE SPIRIT WITH PAINT,” June 26-27, at my studio in North Portland.  Workshop will be from 10-5, both days.  Wear old clothes you can get paint on and bring a sac lunch.  I am limiting the class to 5 people so we can do distancing in the studio and everyone must have their vaccine shots to attend.  I’m so ready to paint and I’m sure some of you are also.  I’m sending this to my old students so you know the drill and what to expect.  I will have snacks and tea you can bring the rest.  It will be fun to see what images want to come after so long in isolation and all the changes in reality we have experienced.  Hope to see some of you again.  

Let me know if you would like to be included in the class and I will put you on the list.  We will practice safety during the weekend.  It’s time to start being creative and discover where we need to go from here.  We will follow the paint and it will take us where we need to go.  

The cost is $190 if it’s your first time and $170 if you’ve taken it before and are repeating and going even deeper.  Let me know if you have any questions.  Also if you can’t do it this time but know of someone that could use a workshop like this please let them know and tell them to tell me who sent them.  I appreciate your support all these years.  

Let’s Paint, can’t wait.  Only 1 space left.  If you would like to take this class or have any questions email me at carolyn_winkler@comcast.net and I will get back to you or add you to the list.  Look forward to hearing from you.  See you soon. Carolyn
