What is Intuition Painting?
Born from the expressive arts movement, informed by the visionary work of Aviva Gold, Shaun McNiff, Natalie Rogers, Michelle Cassou, Stewart Cubley, and others—and brought to life in its current form by Montine Blank, Intuition Painting® is a six-phase, non-directive painting process that blends intuitive creative expression with art-based coaching for creative freedom and personal revelation.
At its heart, Intuition Painting® invites you to:
Let go of judgment
Loosen your grip on control
Follow your brush without knowing what’s next
Allow what’s ready to emerge
And trust that something meaningful will move—whether or not it makes sense right away

Art That Transforms Life
It’s not about technique.
There are no comments and no critiques.
It’s about what happens when you finally stop trying to be good—and instead become real.
This practice has been praised as a miracle, a lifelong gift, and a sacred path through grief, loss, burnout, and rebirth. It’s as mysterious as it is practical.
And it works.
It is:
Structured enough to support you
Free enough to surprise you
Safe enough to hold anything that arises
And through it, many people have:
Reconnected with long-buried creative instincts
Moved through grief, trauma, or emotional stagnation
Experienced clarity where there was confusion
Accessed joy, flow, and vitality they thought was gone
One-of-a-Kind Process
Unlike traditional painting methods that emphasize skill or technique, Intuition Painting invites you to explore the raw, unfiltered flow of your intuition.
Through this practice, you learn to engage in a dialogue with your inner world, expressing emotions, insights, and visions that often remain hidden. The work goes beyond creating a visual piece—it’s a deeply personal journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.
The power of Intuition Painting lies in its ability to unlock creative energy and dissolve blocks that limit self-expression. It creates a safe, sacred container for spontaneous creativity to flourish. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or have never picked up a brush, Intuition Painting honors your unique rhythm, intuition, and voice. You’ll discover how the act of painting can be a gateway to emotional release, clarity, and transformation, offering profound insights for both your inner and outer life.
As you step into the world of Intuition Painting, you're not only unleashing your creativity; you're weaving newfound hope, joy, and bravery back into your life.
Intuition Painting® is built on a flexible but clear arc—one that honors the emotional and energetic shifts that happen as we create:
Center – Ground your energy and become present
Let Go – Release judgment and expectation
Connect – Paint spontaneously and allow dreamlike imagery to emerge
Reveal – Decode the messages, insights, and meanings
Transform – Evolve the painting to reflect desired changes
Embody – Integrate the insights into your daily life
This process supports deep, honest exploration—and gives shape to experiences words can’t quite hold.
You don’t need to be an artist.
You just need to be willing to show up, let go, and trust.
Who’s It For?
Intuition Painting® is for anyone yearning for freedom, clarity, and connection to their inner creative voice.
This includes:
Seekers and creatives
People in life transition
Artists and non-artists alike
Coaches, therapists, teachers, and healers
Anyone feeling creatively or emotionally blocked
Anyone longing for something beyond
Wherever you are, this process meets you there—and takes you somewhere new.
At its core, Intuition Painting® is about trusting the creative impulse within you—following your brush without a plan, releasing judgment, and allowing unconscious material to surface, move, and transform through the act of painting.
When you return to your innate creativity, you return to yourself. When you follow your inner brush, you unlock the wisdom your mind alone cannot access.
This process consistently opens doors to emotional freedom, healing, and personal growth in ways that traditional talk therapy, goal-oriented art-making, or self-development techniques often cannot reach. The transformations it offers are often unheralded—subtle and seismic, mysterious and embodied. Something moves… and you are not the same.
Why Now?
We feel a growing urgency to share this work more widely because the world is calling—more than ever—for accessible, embodied routes to mental health and well-being. Intuition Painting® can happen at a kitchen table, in a studio, or anywhere a person is willing to show up with paint and presence. It reclaims art as an innate human tool for mindfulness, emotional processing, and inner healing.
Although this work has often remained outside the spotlight of mainstream wellness, it is rooted in deep integrity. As a form of art-based coaching, Intuition Painting® places the individual’s inner knowing and higher wisdom at the center of the process—fostering change that is self-directed, authentic, and enduring, rather than externally imposed or guided.
We believe that your intuitive creative expression is essential, not optional. It’s a natural human capacity—and a vital key to wholeness, especially in a world that often disconnects us from ourselves.
Intuition Painting® is for anyone who longs to feel more free, more whole, and more alive. No art experience is needed—just a willingness to explore.
