Description

Since 1976, the Painting Experience has touched the lives of thousands of people by helping them to explore the creative process in an atmosphere of respect and non-judgment. The ever-widening circle of friends who have benefited from The Painting Experience programs form a vital and diverse community of culturally creative people committed to personal growth and to making a difference in the world.

Using only the simple tools of brush, paper and paint, The Painting Experience invites you on a stimulating journey into the heart of painting for the process rather than the result. The potential is to tap into an extraordinary resource: the vibrant, driving force of your own creative spirit.

The Painting Experience offers workshops and retreats at many locations throughout the year. In these workshops, everyone is a beginner. You are welcome even if you’ve never picked up a paintbrush.
