LESSON 23
Improvisational Watercolor
with Bonnie Broitzman
ABOUT BONNIE
Bonnie is guided by her spiritual journey and expresses her paintings and poetry with a meditative, intuitive and spontaneous approach. She listens to her intuitive voice, and this trust in her inner self allows her to paint in an improvisational approach, allowing the colors and shapes to evolve into a finished painting.
Bonnie will share her insights into creating a painting by intuition. Bonnie has created her lovely paintings by wetting the paper, applying the color and just letting the images appear.
She will narrate and demonstrate her approach to letting a painting happen as she is in a meditative mood.
Materials are simply paint, brushes and paper.
Bonnie is an intuitive/meditative artist who approaches painting as a spiritual experience where she trusts the paint to reveal her inner voice through the use of the elements of art. Watercolor is a perfect media for this creative process of letting fluid, free-flowing paint express her inner feelings.
Watch Bonnie as she starts with a wet mix of free-flowing color and brings these lines, shapes and colors into a finished painting. All the years of painting realistically prepared her for this artful, intuitive style of expression. This reflective style of painting is a form of prayer. Bonnie is also a poet and often writes poetry that inspires her painting subject.
