The Intuitive Geometry method is a set of principles for using overlapping circles to create and design anything. The method was created by Nathalie Strassburg over a period of several years after she had an inspiring vision of a large geometric drawing.
Overlapping circles have been studied since ancient times. Two overlapping circles create the almond shape called the vesica pisces from which we can make basic geometric shapes. The intuitive geometry method has expanded on these basic foundations, commonly referred to as Sacred Geometry, and now includes spirals, waves and scaling. Once you master the method’s 8 principles (circle, square, triangle, hexagon, pentagon, spirals, waves, scaling) you can apply them intuitively and draw anything. The book (and e-book) contains step by step instructions, step by step examples and example art.

Commissioned Artwork
Intuitive Geometry is something Nathalie believes is a gift to all of us. For this reason she made it possible for anyone to learn the method for free online, so that location and income did not prevent anyone from learning it. She also makes images and line art of the original artworks available for purchase at a relatively low cost for personal use so that it is accessible as inspiring wall art, coloring, teaching aids, gifts, tattoos and other personal projects.
Artworks are generally produced in a large size so that they are in high resolution and can be reproduced in prints and on products (currently through Fine Art America with a 30 day money back guarantee). Large artworks take time to produce because in order to achieve the Intuitive Geometry coloring effect it takes many layers of coloring. The large artworks that are 620 x 1500 mm / 25.2″ × 59″ take up to a month to produce because Nathalie also manages her websites, books, self-sufficient home, and a large garden with many fruits, berries, nuts, medicinal, and other plants.
Because the artworks take so much time to produce Nathalie decided it is in the best interest of everyone if she does not produce exclusive commissions. She believes that any artwork that is produced should be shared with everyone because they serve as an example of the method.

Circle
Overlapping seven circles with the same radius creates 6 equal divisions. You can continue this division to create 12, 24, 48, 96, 192… radial divisions. Learn the circle with step by step instructions >
Overlapping two circles with the same radius creates the first triangle. Overlapping three can create a triangle twice the size. Overlapping six circles creates various possibilities including the five regular solids: the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, icosahedron and dodecahedron. Learn the triangle with step by step instructions >
Hexagon
Overlapping six circles with the same radius creates two different hexagons. Hexagonal tiling is efficient because it has minimal boundary lines – honeycomb is a great example of this. Learn the hexagon with step by step instructions >
Overlapping circles become the guides for creating any type of spiral. For equally spaced spirals you move one circle for every arch. For growing spirals you move double the number of circles for every new arch. You can create custom spirals to suit your designs. Learn spirals with step by step instructions >
Waves
Overlapping circles create the guides for drawing waves. Different scales of overlapping circles create infinite possibilities for custom wave designs. Waves are universal patterns of light, electricity, sound, wind etc. Learn waves with step by step instructions >
Scaling
Scaling is the secret to drawing anything with overlapping circles. The patterns of life are circles within circles and universally scale in steps: down half the size or up double in size. Learn scaling with step by step instructions >

The Intuitive Geometry method is a basic set of principles for using overlapping circles to create and design anything. Below are the step by step instructions for universal scaling.
At any point draw a circle of any size. Find any point on the circumference and draw a circle with the same radius (AB). Continue around drawing a circle at any new intersection on the circumference and you will create 6 divisions.
Connect A & B, extend the line to find D and mark it. With centre A & radius AD draw a circle twice the size of the first one.
Find E. Connect C & E to find F. With centre A and radius AF draw a circle half the size of the first one. Draw a circle with centre F & radius FB.
Find, Mark and connect G & H. Find & mark I. Draw a circle with centre I & radius IF. You can continue this method indefinitely.

The Intuitive Geometry method is a basic set of principles for using overlapping circles to create and design anything. Below are the step by step instructions for waves.
At any point (A) draw a circle of any size. Find any point on the circumference (B) and draw a circle with the same radius (AB). Continue around drawing a circle at any new intersection (C etc.) on the circumference and you will create 6 divisions.
Find points D & E, connect them with a straight line to divide the circle in half.
Find & mark F & G. Extend DE. Draw a circle with centre G and radius GA. With the same radius continue drawing new circles on the new intersections H, I, J etc. You can now draw the wave by using the circles as guides.
To scale the wave smaller: Find K, L, M, N & mark them. Connect K & M and extend the line. Connect C & N and extend the line. Connect L & B, Find and mark O. With centre A and radius AO draw a circle. With the same radius continue drawing circles on the new intersections P, Q, R, S etc. You can now draw the wave by using the smaller circles as guides. You can continue the wave indefinitely.

The Intuitive Geometry method is a basic set of principles for using overlapping circles to create and design anything. Below are the step by step instructions for spirals.
Draw a line of any length. Draw a circle of any size on the line. Mark the centre as A and mark B on the circumference. Draw a circle with centre B and radius AB. Using radius AB continue to draw intersecting circles along the line.
To draw a spiral with equal spacing draw an arch with centre B & radius AB on the right side. Find & mark C. Draw an arch with centre C and radius AC on the left side. Find & mark D. Draw an arch with centre B and radius BD on the right side. Find & mark E. Draw an arch with centre C and radius CE on the left side. Find & mark F. Draw an arch with centre B and radius BF on the right side. Find & mark G. With centre C and radius CG draw an arch on the left side.
This spiral can be continued indefinitely, just add more smaller circles as guides.
To draw a growing spiral continue from Fig 1: Find C & D, mark them and connect them to divide the area in half. Find & mark E. With centre E and radius EB draw an arch on the left side. With centre B and radius BA draw an arch on the opposite side. Find and mark F. With centre F and radius FA draw an arch on the left side and mark G. With centre A and radius AG draw an arch on the right side. Find and mark H. With centre G and radius GH draw an arch on the left side.
You can continue this indefinitely by growing the spiral with an arch double the size of the previous one – use the little circles as a guide to count out the new circles for the arches.

The Intuitive Geometry method is a basic set of principles for using overlapping circles to create and design anything. Below are the step by step instructions for the pentagon.
Draw any finite line, find A & B and mark them. Draw a circle with centre A and radius AB & centre B radius AB. Find and join C & D. Draw an arch with centre D and radius DA. Find E, F and G, mark them.
Join E through G to find H, Join F through G to find I. Mark H, I and J. With Radius AB draw two arches, one with centre I and the other with centre H. Join A & I, I & J, J & H and H & B. You have drawn a Pentagon.
Find K & L, mark them. Connect B through K and A through L. Find & mark M. Extend I through M and H through M. You have created 10 divisions.
Draw a circle with centre M and radius MJ. Find and mark N, O, P, Q and R.
Connect N O P Q R to form the second pentagon.
Find & Mark S, T, U, V, W, X, Y , Z, Aa, Bb. You have created 20 divisions. Extend the lines to the circumference of the circle & connect the new pentagons: S U W Y Aa & T V X Z Bb.
Find the new intersections Cc, Dd etc. and connect them through centre M to create a total of 40 divisions. You can continue with this method to create 80, 160, 320 etc. divisions.
Draw any finite straight line AB. Draw a circle of any size on the line. Using the same radius mark 6 divisions on the circumference of the circle. Connect the divisions through the middle to create CF and DE. Using the same radius find and circle G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q and R.
Connect R & I, R & J, R & M and R & N. Repeat this pattern of connection for points G, I, L, N and P: GP, GK, GL, etc. Find S & T, mark them and find the others. Thicken the rest of the lines to show the dodecahedron.
