in your painting practice
Believe me, i've been there!
My brain whispering “don’t f*$!k this up!” with every brushstroke. I was there too, drawing a pencil sketch of my entire painting and then painstakingly coloring it in. Googling "Beginner Watercolor Tutorials" until I was blue in the face and could not, no would not paint another sunset over the water again!
I longed for the freedom of trusting myself, and my skills, enough to put paint to a blank page!

What is intuitive painting...
And Does That Mean Ugly Art?!
Spoiler alert
Intuitive painting is a process of creating art without preconceived ideas or specific plans, allowing the artist's intuition and inner guidance lead them. This can be especially helpful when first learning how to watercolor, as it applies little emphasis on what your painting "should" look like.
Every artist has "bad" paintings - I have a whole studio of them! But every ugly piece of artwork get's me closer to showing up with the confidence needed to pull of a painting I'm so head over heels for.
It Doesn't!
This workshop gives you permission to make the "bad" art that makes you a better artist.
Intuitive painting is not always abstract art
We've all seen the typical intuitive painting workshop - paint smattered everywhere, the artist moving across her canvas with big bold brushstrokes... the canvas the size of my house.
This is not that - intuitive watercolor means trusting your decisions as your create art. That could be abstract art or subject driven art. We'll cover both in the course!
Benefits of Practicing Mindfulness While Painting
Watercolor painting requires focused attention and presence in the moment, promoting a state of mindfulness and providing a much-needed break from daily responsibilites.
Stress Reduction
Painting with mindfulness cultivates a supportive headspace to create directly from your heart, without your thoughts getting in the way.
Drop Perfectionism
Engage in this non-verbal form of self-expression, allowing you to convey your emotions, thoughts, and experiences through colors and imagery providing.
Emotional Expression
A watercolor practice stimulates creativity, encouraging you to think outside the box, experiment with techniques and explore new possibilities with paints.
Self-Reflection
Explore your intuitive artistic choices and preferences. The creative process allows for introspection, self-discovery and personal growth.
Boost Creativity
Overcoming the challenges of putting paint to paper can shift your mindset from doubting your creative abilities, to just enjoying the act of creating for YOU!
Ditch Self-Doubt
hey there!
I'm Jaime, your
friendly
watercolor guide.
The opportunity for intention, curiosity and connection can, unfortunately, be such a novelty these days. It's an honor to stay close to these teachings through my watercolor practice and offerings.
But it wasn't always this way.
10 years ago I was burnt out and out of touch with myself. Straight out of art school, I took a deep dive into the yoga/wellness world. With an Airstream in Austin, Texas as my base, I would travel North America learning and teaching yoga and mindfulness techniques.
When I finally reconnected with creativity and watercolor, I started offering custom paintings for people (think pet portraits, house portraits and wedding stationery). I noticed a few ways my mindfulness practice started to show up in my painting practice. Then I noticed how it helped me improve my finished pieces.
This is why I wanted to make this class - to show you how to improve your art, ground in to the process and cultivate a quiet headspace. This curriculum was born out of years of experience in both the wellness and art world.

Still on the Fence?
I completely understand. It can be overwhelming to take the step towards painting with confidence and prioritizing yourself. There are a few "pay what you want" spots available each quarter. If you feel you are in need, please get in touch with me from the link below.
I especially encourage those who have never been to one of my workshops, are from BIPOC or other underserved communities, and anyone who could use some extra creative support to reach out.
