How to Paint Intuitively

“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift, and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.” 

~ Albert Einstein

Intuition, sometimes called the "sixth sense" is a right-brained knowing without going through a logical thought process. Logical thought is influenced by the outward focusing five senses. These five senses are sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell.

The sixth sense of intuition is not connected to your five senses. Compared to the other senses, intuition requires a deeper level of receptivity. Intuition cannot operate when your mind is full of thoughts. A distracted mind can never be an intuitive mind.

Intuition can help you access higher information about how to navigate your human life and understand your true soul nature.

I love to access my intuition through a very simple form of intuitive painting. When the logical left brain is set aside for a time, you can learn how to trust and follow your intuition one step at a time. 

What is Intuitive Painting?

Do you know what intuitive painting is? Intuitive painting for the process instead of the end result. 

You can choose to suppress your emotions or accept and express them, allowing them to transform. Emotions hold tremendous energy, and when you paint your emotions out intuitively, you release them from your habitual control.

The intuitive expression of your emotions neither burdens others with the unskillful expression of your emotions, nor does it force your emotions deep down into your body to create dis-ease. 

Emotions are never permanent. They are energy in motion, constantly changing. When you capture your emotions in paint, you will move and release right before your eyes, and you will grow to trust your intuition!

How To Paint Intuitively

I encourage you to set up a painting station in your home or studio with your watercolour paper, paints, brushes, and a jar of clean water close at hand.

1. Close your eyes, breathe deeply. To help you move out of your mind, place your non-painting hand on your heart.

2. Listen to yourself internally for a few moments, and then pick up your paintbrush and load it with the first colour that catches your eye.

3. Paint your first stroke, and then, without thinking, add more paint to your brush, perhaps in another colour, and add to your first paint stroke.

4. Continue painting from feeling instead of thinking until you feel complete.
