Semi Abstract Acrylic Painting
'When snow falls, nature listens.'
Antoinette Van Kleef
Let's breath the crisp air and explore magical Winter landscapes filled with subtle gentle brush stocks, muted Winter colours and subtle hues to create a beautiful semi abstract painting on paper and 30x30cm canvas!
Perfect for all levels of experience!
Participants will delve into process, experiment + learn a variety of abstract paint techniques in a guided painting workshop inspired by the natural raw beauty we find in Winter.
We will guide you to build layers of beautiful Acrylic paint to create simple paintings with the option of adding a touch of shimmering metallic - gold or silver!
Discover how to go with the flow, take advantage of unexpected "mistakes" while you study the basics and go beyond traditional painting by experimenting with different materials in a modern and expressive approach + use colour combinations to make your own kind of magic.
In this painting workshop you will be encouraged to embrace a free approach to painting + relax during this wonderful process, through some simple (think out of the box) techniques, you will abandon + embrace a wabi sabi style of acrylic painting, creating soft layers on quality paper + final piece on canvas. Why not try a little paint alchemy to create interesting effects?
Dabble with warm muted, subtle or bold contrasting colours + add some eye catching sparkling elements.
You will explore this practice of painting, learn to handle different paint consistency, be guided by professionals to develop your interest or try something new!
Acrylic paint is an incredibly fun and forgiving medium (trust us!) and you are sure to have an afternoon of paint play, to create a few interesting art pieces!
Rather than overwhelm with all techniques we choose those that best suit the subject, so that each workshop is a little different from the last!
