Unleash Your Inner Grunge with Intuitive Painting: A Tutorial

Are you looking for a way to express your creativity without feeling limited by rules or expectations? If so, intuitive painting might be just what you need. In this tutorial video, we’ll explore the world of abstract art and learn how to paint with abandon, using a limited color palette and a willingness to let go of perfectionism.

The beauty of intuitive painting is that there are no wrong answers. You’ll be encouraged to experiment with color, texture, and composition, creating a large painting that can then be cut up into a collection. The result is a unique and personal piece of art that’s all your own.

This tutorial is perfect for both beginners and seasoned artists who are looking to explore new techniques and ideas. You’ll learn how to let go of expectations and embrace your inner grunge, painting with freedom and joy.

So grab your brushes, get comfortable, and let’s dive into the world of intuitive painting together. You’re sure to have fun and discover new possibilities along the way.

Remember to watch the video above to get all the details and follow along with the step-by-step instructions. And if you have any questions or comments, be sure to leave them below. Happy painting!

    I love this! But, what is that bluish gray paint color? You don’t list it in the supplies…I want to get exactly that color for myself. Help!

      I show the paints at the beginning that I used. Are you thinking the Sage Blue Blick paint?
