Registration Open: Abstract Expression - A Meditative Painting Series (4-Week Course)

  • 13 Feb 2026
  • 4 Apr 2026
  • Uncanny Art House


Registration: $200 per student

Capacity: 6 participants

All materials included

Registration covers all four sessions

This four-week painting series offers an immersive introduction to intuitive abstraction, guiding participants through the creation of one cohesive abstract painting shaped by presence, emotion, and embodied creativity. Open to all experience levels, the course prioritizes exploration and emotional translation over technical perfection.

Each session begins with a brief grounding meditation to settle the nervous system and establish a calm, supportive space for creative flow.

Week 1: Inspiration & Foundation

The opening session focuses on setting the energetic and creative groundwork for the series. Students will engage in meditation and reflective journaling to identify personal sources of inspiration, explore color mixing and emotional resonance, and begin their painting using intuitive movement and intention.

Weeks 2–4: Developing the Work

The remaining sessions guide students through deepening and completing the painting. Instruction supports layering, texture, contrast, and thoughtful decision-making while encouraging trust in the unfolding process. Emphasis remains on staying present, listening to the work, and allowing the image to evolve naturally over time.

This course is ideal for artists seeking a slower, more reflective approach to painting and those interested in integrating mindfulness into their creative practice.
