Modern Abstract Expressionism: A Journey in Brush Strokes, Texture, and All the Feels

I'm so excited to dive into the art abstract expressionism with you. This is a style and technique that is often overlooked when it comes time to create pieces of our own. It's natural to gravitate toward what we know as far as subject matters go, such as flowers, landscapes, people, etc. Abstract expressionism, however, demands us to be in the present and to create with feeling. It challenges us to explore in ways that we wouldn't otherwise.

After diving head first into abstract work 6 months ago, I was completely twitterpated. I felt connected to my creativity in a way that hadn't been unleashed yet. Now, I want to share it with you. I'm going to provide a roadmap to your own self-discovery through this class, as we cover:

• Composition
• Working in collections
• Approaching transitions in paint, color, and texture
• Working with a limited color palette
• Using mixed media such as acrylic, gesso, pastels, ink, and charcoal
• Mark making
• and more...

At the end of this class, you'll have at least 3 new cohesive abstract pieces that you'll love so dearly that they'll be on your wall instantly. I can't wait to see your work!
