Overview

This class is for everyone, whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist.

Want to learn more about abstract painting? Join Alexandra Reid as she helps you to explore the world of abstraction using the art building blocks called Design Elements .

In this class you will learn about Line, Value, Shape, Space and Colour and then apply your knowledge through hands-on exercises to combine these Design Elements into a series of small abstract paintings.

Some of the things we will cover in this class:

  • Draw a visual conversation with mixed-media lines
  • See how value and contrast draw your eye into a painting
  • Recognize basic compositional structures in abstract painting
  • Paint intuitively with a limited value palette
  • Select a personal colour palette
  • Create a series of small mixed-media abstract paintings

By the end of this class, you will have learned how paint abstractly using a set of art tools for endless inspiration.

Come and get ready to loosen up your painting style with Abstraction 101 – Design Elements!
