"Art, prayer and healing all come from the same source, the human soul. The energy that fuels this process is the basic force of life, the force of creativity, of love."* Artists have known intuitively what research is now confirming - that creating a visual image can produce both physical and emotional benefits for both the artist and the viewer. No experience is necessary even if you can't draw a straight line!------*Michael Samuels, M.D

By painting as though whatever you paint is perfectly perfect - painting as if you are a child and simply having fun - your natural language will speak to you through your art. Free Flow Painting helps you to discover what your intuition, your inner guide has to say to you and what gifts it has to offer - for your healing, stress management and happiness.

"My therapist told me that I gained more in the few weeks that I was here than I had from her in months; that she saw such a change in me since I have been coming. And this is much more fun and far less expensive too!"

A small jar (to put your Turpenoid in - The glass jar that baby food comes in works well.)
Palette knife (wood and metal) Buy the kind that is bent in the middle.

Materials list for Sandi Gold’s Pastel Class:

1. A kneaded eraser*
2. Pastels: I use and recommend the brand Rembrandt. A box of 90 although costly, is a good place to start. (Half sticks are fine to start with if you want to save money and not make a large investment in materials.) The more you have, the easier it is for you to work. 3.Foam Core: to be used as a backing board for 1/2 a sheet of Canson paper.
4. 1” Masking Tape
5. Vine charcoal (medium)
6. # 8 Flat Bristle Brush (for erasing)
7. Paper: Canson Mi-tienes. Middle-toned colors: Gray or Blue (not too light and not too dark.)
8) (Lotion –free) Baby wipes (for cleaning your hands).
9) Pad of white paper* (nothing fancy – simply for sketching before doing your painting)
10) Pencil* (sharpened)
