Description: Discover the limitless possibilities of contemporary painting and abstraction in a friendly supportive group of like-minded artists. This class is a unique opportunity for artists who are looking for a more abstract and expressive way of painting that will open up new creative avenues and challenge old perspectives.

Students will experiment with various painting techniques, discover distinct palettes through color theory exercises, and create unique compositions and formats using a wide selection of materials and painting surfaces. We will find inspiration by studying various art movements, including geometric and lyrical abstraction, gestural expressionism, and color field painting. From soft delicate hues to vibrant bold brushstrokes, we will develop individual artistic styles that will push the limits of our creativity for more dynamic paintings.

With the benefit of a group setting to share ideas, techniques and inspiration we will learn from hands-on exercises and demonstrations that will help us to re-imagine traditional painting!
