WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
Abstract art is about experimentation and discovery. In this hands-on class, you’ll learn to view abstraction as a process where just by creating the right conditions, you can have amazing results. We’ll strip away the mystique and approach it with curiosity, using color, materials, and techniques as our tools for exploration. You’ll experiment with unconventional methods, using objects like mops, sponges, rollers and rags to create expressive, distinctive marks leading to surprising effects. This is an invitation to play with the unknown, letting chance and intuition guide the process.

You will take home your abstract work of art at the end of this class, ready to become a part of your collection and spark conversations for years to come.
WORKSHOP PROCESS
In this class, we will embark on a creative journey using landscapes and still lifes as a springboard into artistic experimentation. The process involves:

  • Selecting Your Palette: Begin by choosing from a limited range of colors
  • Exploring Mark-Making: Experiment with unconventional tools materials to make bold, expressive marks.
  • Stencils & Masks: Build layers with patterns and cut-out shapes, infusing a graphic dynamic.
  • Evaluate: Take a moment to step back and evaluate your composition. Identify what needs work and plan your next move.
  • Pivot and Rework: Explore radical change by taking risks and being decisive, trusting your instincts to guide you.
  • Finish: Deciding when to stop is a critical moment, adding excitement and high stakes to the process.
