Join us for an immersive two-day workshop, "Bold Abstraction", where we explore the deep language of abstraction—far beyond realism. Abstraction is a powerful form of expression. As Magritte’s “The Treachery of Images” reminds us, a painted pipe is not a pipe but a representation. Inspired by masters like Pollock’s energetic movements and Rothko’s meditative hues, we will dive into abstraction’s vast possibilities.

Workshop Highlights: Canvas: Bring unstretched canvas to pin to the wall or large stretched canvases. Materials: Acrylic paints, brushes, polymer mediums, and your favorite mark-making tools. Feel free to bring collage materials to personalize your work.

Over these two days, you'll learn to create complete abstract works. From surface preparation with vintage papers, tissue, and plaster to composing dynamic, impactful final pieces, we’ll explore: Building rich surface textures. Finding and refining compositions and focal points. Developing your work to professional standards, ready for gallery display.

In a supportive space, you'll be encouraged to embrace unrestrained marks and composition without fear of mistakes, immersing yourself in the painting zone. Reserve Your Spot: Spaces are limited—sign up now to unlock the full potential of abstraction and step boldly into the joy of fearless creation!
