The Elements of Abstract Painting

The Elements of Abstract Painting

In this workshop you will learn some basic design elements that will give you more confidence to work
without a predetermined plan. By letting intuition guide your brush and decide your colour choices you
will accept ‘mistakes’ as opportunities. You will experiment with different materials to express your inner
landscape and discover your unique way to make lines, dots, patterns and shapes that will contribute to
your abstract composition. By understanding values, you will use light and dark to create visual depth
and learn how to combine colour’s effectively to enhance vibrancy and harmony. Abstract painting is
about embracing spontaneity and trusting your instincts.
