Workshop Description

Step into the vibrant world of abstraction in this beginner-friendly workshop focusing on floral inspiration. Whether you're new to abstract art or looking to explore a fresh perspective, this workshop will guide you in transforming the natural beauty of flowers into expressive, imaginative artwork.

Through a combination of guided exercises, demonstrations, and individual exploration, you'll learn how to:

  • Simplify and stylize floral shapes and forms.

  • Experiment with bold color palettes and dynamic compositions.

  • Use techniques such as layering, mark-making, and texture-building to bring depth and energy to your work.

This hands-on workshop is perfect for artists of all levels who want to break free from realism and develop their unique abstract style. Most supplies are provided except for your main substrate of either canvas or wood panel or a wood board.  There will be a $10 supply fee.

Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to bloom artistically!  By the end of the session, you’ll have a beautiful abstract floral artwork and a toolkit of skills to continue your journey into abstraction.
