Allow yourself to be guided and moved by the picture towards your very own qualities

Start and let the picture guide and surprise you.

This results in an exciting creation of images that are NEW, creating space for creativity, changeable effects and truly new solutions.
Through the guidance, the processes, sudden breaks and completely new possibilities are made conscious, so that real choices arise. The interventions take the painters beyond their learned limits.

We do not work with interpretations, illustrations, symbols and meanings. We create images whose meaning can be revealed to us in many different ways in contact with the painting.
The process of painting needs guidance,
because as painters we often overlook or initially reject new things, avoid the frightening and tend to follow familiar paths. As a painting instructor, I accompany the process in a supportive, clarifying, confronting and compassionate way and take care of the paintings.
On the basis of Gestalt therapy, the images are clarified by painting, not by talking. The 'birth of the painting' is the essential thing, not a conversation afterwards.

Painting weekends and painting days take place on an ongoing basis.

A painting weekend costs 250,- Euro

Many participants come from out of town and need overnight accommodation.
There are nice hotels and accommodation in Münster-Wolbeck and the surrounding area, e.g.
landhotel-muenster
Ludolf House
ferienwohnung-van-der-pijl 50 meters to the studio
If you are traveling by car or bike, accommodation directly on the Werse is also worthwhile.

There are many places to stay overnight in Münster city center and then take the bus or bike to Münster-Wolbeck.

The participants usually go to nearby cafés/restaurants together during the break.
The breaks can of course also be spent in the studio. It is a good idea to bring a snack etc. with you.

We always start with a small group to get to know each other. You don't have to have a problem to do accompanied painting. Curiosity about new things is enough.

In guided painting, we always work individually with your process.
There are agreements in the studio that support the process:

- For example, I support the painters in putting things/pictures in order instead of destroying them out of dissatisfaction.
- So that all painters can experience and go through their processes in the best possible way, it is helpful not to talk about the paintings of other painters.
- And so that I as the painting leader can be in good contact with the processes and the painters, I hang the paintings up and down. We look together to see whether a painting is finished or whether and what can still be done.
- Accompanied painting also means that I, as the painting leader, take part in the painting process in an accompanying, clarifying, compassionate and confrontational way
- I make sure that everyone can paint as undisturbed as possible - e.g. all cell phones are switched off (exceptions are discussed)

Münster is very easy to reach by train and car. There is a bus from Münster main station to the studio in Münster-Wolbeck every 15 - 20 minutes, which will take you almost to the studio door in a quarter of an hour.
