Welcome to Abstract Art Camp! I’m so excited to share one of my favorite forms of expression with you!

We will be using acrylic paint and watercolor paper as our base. Download the pdf for a full list of media and tools for Abstract Art Camp!

This short lesson will share my recommendations for taping your papers down so that the tape comes up easily when you pull it up and none of your beauftiful work is lost!

Choosing colors can be exciting and sometimes can make us feel stuck. I will share some tips for how I like to choose colors and you have full permission to use the same colors over and over!

We will start camp with creating beautiful, airy abstracts. This process is so much fun. We will build your relationship with your media by strengthening and developing your sense of control and manipulation of your paints and water!

We’ll work in layers starting dry then wet, then back again. There are many possibilities playing with wet and dry media!

In this lesson we will play with movement, color, and control of our media. We’ll explore letting ourselves take chances, trusting our gut, and living with what we get…Yep, I’m still talking about art!

In this lesson we will play with creating harmony and a solid composition with paper, paint, and play! We will explore the unique challenges and chances that come with creating with paper and paint.

Paint and fabric is another mixed media collage where we’ll play with creating balance and harmony with the fun and challenging addition of fabric.

Now that you’ve explored five ways to create abstract pieces, I encourage you to keep praticing, which is to say keep playing! Whether you’re new at this or have been playing with paint and other media for a while…play and practice will go a long way in continuing to express the magic in you!
