improv painting classes and workshops

Whether you’ve never painted before,
OR you were told as a child that you weren't good at art, OR even if you are an accomplished professional artist...

...you can still be surprised by what happens.

Improvisational Painting is a way to play directly and spontaneously with color and imagery. At the Improv Painting studio, we experience our own unique creativity, brush stroke by brush stroke, color by color, painting for the sheer joy of painting and not worrying about the product. We paint in a group of other inspired people and share the fun.

You don't need any special training or skill to do Improv Painting. It's perfect for beginners. If someone told you as a child that you were not good in art, doing Improv Painting will prove they were wrong and will help you regain the joy of creativity that you experienced years ago. If you are a professional artist, then Improv Painting will help you break out of routines and work at the edge of the unknown.

“Improv painting has been a doorway on the other side of which a new layer of self-acceptance awaited me. Pure joy and a new-found expressive freedom have been its ."— Susan Kramer-Pope
