This Workshop Currently Has a WAITLIST

Immerse yourself into a deep dive into the creative process of Abstract Painting with elements of collage and mixed media.  Students who have a desire to find their own personal voice and style while learning the fundamentals of painting with acrylics (and mixed media) in an abstract manner, will find many opportunities to flourish in this robust workshop.   The artist and author of “Abstracts in Acrylic and Ink” will guide students over the 4 days in a variety of inspiring chats, comprehensive demonstrations, and provide personal guidance daily.

This workshop will combine both acrylic painting and some collage work to open options and ideas to incorporate in the collection of work students will be working on over the course of the 4 days.

Students can expect to work on multiple pieces on both paper and canvas (or hardboard) to develop their own personal style and build on their body of existing work.
