Intuitive painting is an amazing process on it’s own, but there is a way to use this super easy painting technique to heal and release unwanted emotions and patterns. Issues such as limiting beliefs, negative thoughts and emotions are all great to process with Intuitive Healing Painting.
This technique is based on a much more comprehensive process that I write about in my book Healing Through Creative Expression. In this book, I use intuitive painting along with intuitive writing, storytelling and writing to the Soul. It’s available in both Kindle and Paperback.

Today we are going to work with the intuitive painting piece only, and if you like this process, of course you could use the book as a guide to go more deeply into a healing process if desired.
For this tutorial, I created a video to guide you through the technique and you can find that below. I will not write the details in this blog post as that would be so much information! However, here are the supplies you will need:
- Canvas board, panel, or mixed media paper
- Liquid acrylic paints: assorted colors
- Medium body acrylic paints (optional): assorted colors
- Assorted paint brushes and foam brushes
- Paint palette or plate
- Jar of water
- Spray bottle (optional)
- Damp rag
- Print making tools such as bubble wrap, textured grip material, credit card, sea sponge, stencils etc.
- Pencil, Gellyroll pens or acrylic friendly pens
- Gold leaf paper (optional)
- Gesso (optional)
- Mod Podge or glazing medium (optional)
- Hairdryer (optional)
What I love about this technique of intuitive healing painting is that you don’t need to have any painting experience at all! In fact, it can be beneficial to have a ‘beginners mind’.
If you have painting or art experience, the skills you have learned can prevent you from allowing your intuitive side to come out. If you find yourself using skills and techniques you know, try to drop those and see if you can find a flow that is free from any rules.
Check out the tutorial below! I hope you enjoy the process 🙂
