- Realizing that you have an authentic creative voice that is inherently your own
- Trusting in your immediate perception rather than your analytic thinking

What is the relationship between The Painting Experience and the work of Michele Cassou?
Stewart Cubley and Michele Cassou were married and worked together for nearly 20 years, from the mid-1970s until 1996. Together, they developed the principles of process painting that continue to serve as the foundation of The Painting Experience. These principles include:
- trusting spontaneous expression and the undirected nature of painting for process
- not interpreting or attaching narratives to the content that arises, and
- the importance of carrying the painting to the end, of reaching true completion
The decades that Michele and Stewart shared and worked together were an incredibly rich time, and The Painting Experience is grateful for her brilliance and her inspiration.
