New - Individual Coaching for Your At-Home Painting Practice
We are pleased to announce several programs designed to support your personal process painting practice at home. These programs are led by senior facilitators of the Painting Experience and provide you with the opportunity to grow into your capacity for living creatively and wakefully.
The Painting Experience Scholarship Fund
The Painting Experience is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization that depends on the generosity of individuals like you to fund expenses that our program fees cannot fully cover. We invite you to join us in creating a new Painting Experience Scholarship Fund to help us make our programs available to those who would not otherwise be able to participate. Contribute $75.00 or more and receive a smock embroidered with The Painting Experience logo.
Process Art Journal
Kira Freed, a Painting Experience enthusiast, has just launched Process Art Journal, a 2012 daily practice combining process art and blogging. Visit her blog to follow it and participate.
We love this new book by process-and-practice artist Bridget Benton.
A great choice for firing up your own creative conversation
in the new year!

Bring the Painting Experience to a location near you!
We're often asked to offer workshops in new cities, states, and countries. We love to check out new venues and find new places to paint; it's not unusual for us to teach in several new cities each year. But growth happens only with your help. If you're interested in bringing The Painting Experience to your home turf, here's what we'll need from you. We hope you'll find the hosting process both easy and fun . .

.....................................
“We have to learn the knack of free association,
to let loose what is hidden in our depths,
to expand rather than to condense prematurely.
Rather than making an intellectual point
and then devising a form to express it,
we need rather to release the face that is sweating under the mask
and let it sweat out in the open,
even though nobody else gives it a prize for special beauty or significance.”
~Thomas Merton
