The Relaxed Brush

A Monthly Process Painting Workshop

Every 3rd Saturday · In Person · All Supplies Included

The Relaxed Brush is a gentle, in-person painting workshop designed to help you slow down, soften your body, and reconnect with yourself through art.

We paint slowly, using gentle movement and simple, intuitive brushwork. The focus is not on creating a polished or “hangable” painting, but on entering a state of flow, where the nervous system settles, the mind quiets, and the body leads the creative process.

This is a no-pressure, process-based class.
Art itself becomes the somatic practice.

I offer easy, open-ended painting prompts to help you begin. You are always welcome to follow them closely, adapt them, or ignore them entirely and paint intuitively. There is no right way to participate.

All supplies are provided. No experience is necessary.

• A calm, welcoming environment focused on ease and nervous system regulation
• Slow, intuitive painting with gentle movement
• Simple prompts you can follow—or not
• No pressure to “perform,” finish, or make something impressive
• Art that is not intended to be hangable or perfected

The beauty of this class comes from the process, not the outcome.

Your painting may look unfinished, abstract, or messy—and that’s intentional. This workshop is about relaxation, presence, and letting go of external expectations. The real result is how you feel during and after painting, not what you take home.

This class is ideal for anyone who wants:
• Stress relief
• A creative reset
• Nervous system regulation
• A quieter relationship with art
• A place where doing less is enough

Supplies are Included!
