Course Description

Everyone is creative in their own way, with their own voice.

So many stories of life to tell and years of emotions and intuition to pull from and use as inspiration to fuel your creativity. Working from intuition through many layers, you will learn how to create abstracts that are unique to you. Those are the pieces of you to pass on into the future, changing lives along the way.

In this process, there are no mistakes - only new experiments and play. Leave your tension and need for perfection at the door. All you need is a will to move out of your comfort zone (sometimes a good playlist helps), your creativity, and a smile on your face. Let's explore together!!

Supply List for This Course

Supply List

When starting in a new painting style, it's important to know that the goal is not to have you buy a large amount of supplies to start. Most of the supplies I will include in the supply video are my favorites, but are not required in anyway. The important part is to use what you have and get the feel of painting abstractly before purchasing a bunch of supplies. You may use any paint or canvas supports that you already have on hand. I am including the canvas panel link in case any of you want to try them out for the class but you could use paper if you wanted. The goal is to make this as easy and as fun as possible, with investing in new supplies to experiment along your journey.
