Münster, Germany

Summary

Start out and let the image guide you and surprise you.

This leads to the exciting creation of images that are NEW, and in this way, space is created for creativity, adaptable effects, and truly new solutions.
Through guidance, participants become aware of the processes, sudden shifts, and entirely new possibilities, allowing genuine choices to emerge. The interventions lead the painters beyond their learned limitations.

We do not work with interpretations, illustrations, symbols, or meanings. We create images whose meaning can reveal itself to us in many ways as we paint and engage with the image.
The process of this painting requires guidance,
since, as painters, we often overlook or initially reject new elements, avoid what frightens us, and tend to stick to familiar paths. As a painting facilitator, I guide the process in a supportive, clarifying, confrontational, and compassionate manner, and I care for the paintings.
Based on Gestalt therapy, the paintings are clarified through the act of painting, not explained through talking. The “birth of the painting” is what matters most, not a conversation afterward.

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

We always start with a brief round of introductions so everyone can get to know each other. You don’t need to have any specific issues to participate in guided painting. All you need is curiosity about something new.

In guided painting, we always work individually with your process.
In the studio, there are guidelines that support the process:

- This is how I support participants in putting things/images in order, rather than destroying them out of dissatisfaction.
- To ensure that all painters can fully experience and go through their processes, it’s helpful not to talk about other painters’ works.
- And so that I, as the painting facilitator, can stay in close touch with the processes and the painters, I hang and take down the paintings. We work in pairs to determine whether a painting is finished or if—and what—still needs to be done.
- Guided painting also involves me, as the painting facilitator, participating in the painting process in a supportive, clarifying, compassionate, and confrontational manner
- I ensure that everyone can paint with as few distractions as possible—for example, by making sure all cell phones are turned off (exceptions will be discussed).

Arrival

Münster is very easy to reach by train and car. A bus leaves the main train station every 15 to 20 minutes for the studio in Münster-Wolbeck, and takes you almost right to the studio door in a quarter of an hour.
