WHAT TO EXPECT

Abstract Painting Foundations is an ongoing monthly class designed for beginner-to-intermediate artists interested in exploring abstract art through paint and mixed media. Each month focuses on a different theme and introduces techniques such as layering, composition, mark-making, texture, and mixed-media processes.

Through step-by-step demonstrations, guided exercises, and individual support, you will create your own abstract artwork while exploring a range of visual styles. Inspired by contemporary artists, this class encourages experimentation and personal expression within a supportive creative community.

Each month is designed as a standalone experience, so you're welcome to join at any point.

Thursdays (Starting August)

Upcoming Themes

August - Movement

Acrylic Paint, Graphite & Paint Markers

We'll focus on techniques used to create different functional forms such as vases, decanters, pitchers, and bottles. Making these exaggerated forms will expand your skills with tools and your control over the clay.

September - Color & Atmosphere

Acrylic Paint & Soft Paste

We'll create pottery that can be incorporated into gardens and other outdoor spaces. You'll combine handbuilding and wheel-throwing techniques while incorporating natural textures and patterns into your work.

October - Chance & Discovery

Acrylic Paint & Acrylic Ink

During this two-month theme, we'll design and create a cohesive dinner set, including plates, bowls, and cups. This theme will help you refine your precision and consistency while throwing multiple matching forms.
