CREATE A BOLD ABSTRACT YOU’LL ACTUALLY WANT TO HANG
In this two-day studio workshop, we’ll build a luminous, modern abstract using Amsterdam Acrylics and large palette knives—layering color blocks, finding balance, and letting a few happy accidents do their thing.
Perfect for you if you:
want a fresh start creatively (no perfection required)
love bold color + modern design
are a beginner who wants structure or an experienced artist who wants to loosen up
What you’ll do:
Day 1: plan + underpainting + strong color structure
Day 2: layer, refine, add energy, and finish your piece
You’ll leave with:
a finished painting you’re proud of
a repeatable process you can use again at home
significantly less fear living in your paintbrush hand
All supplies provided for two finished pieces!

In this two-day workshop, I’ll guide you through one of my favorite creative processes—building luminous abstract paintings using large palette knives and acrylic color blocks. Together, we’ll explore how color, design, and a bit of spontaneity can transform a simple idea into something alive with energy.
We’ll start by creating underpaintings and experimenting with color combinations and compositional balance. From there, we’ll dive into the expressive fun of layering, blending, and embracing those wonderful happy accidents that happen when we let go of perfection and trust the process.
My goal is to help you create without fear—to discover how much joy and freedom can come from letting color lead the way. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just beginning, you’ll leave with a vibrant piece that feels truly your own and a fresh approach to your creative practice.
We will create in my Duluth Studio 5207 Peabody St Duluth, MN, 55804. If you are coming in from out of town and need lodging we highly recommend the Lake Superior Brewing Brewtel. They offer 1, 2, and 3 bedroom airbnb’s.
