About this Event
Enjoy a memorable art day while creating paintings.
Abstract art is for everyone, and it looks beautiful on any wall. At our workshop, you'll learn the secrets of abstract composition and create your own masterpiece inspired by Rothko, Malevich, or Kandinsky. You'll get to know these famous artists when you come to class. A fun, relaxed atmosphere, creative freedom, and the company of people who came to unwind just like you will give you the confidence to try, and your painting the beauty you'll be proud of.
What you'll get:
You'll get a beautiful handmade masterpiece on canvas (8x10 in.), renewed creative energy, and memories of a truly inspiring evening with a glass of wine or another beverage.
What to bring:
Nothing! We'll provide everything you need for the workshop, including an apron, all art materials, and step-by-step guidance.
Knowledge required:
Beginner-friendly! No prior art experience is needed. Experienced artists are just as welcome. Everyone works at their own pace and can choose a level of detail and creative challenge that feels right for them.
