Abstract Painting- Mixed Media Workshop

by

Join artist Nina Miller in this exciting workshop on exploring Abstract Painting. Learn a brief history of Abstract Expressionism and tap into your own creativity! Experiment while doing quick exercises playing with several materials. Students will walk away with a new excitement for creating and inspiration. This will be a time of play while learning about line, gesture, movement, texture, color, surface, and balance.

In this workshop, you’ll learn methods of creating different surfaces using chalk & oil pastels, graphite, charcoal, paint, ink and unconventional tools. During the 2.5 hours, you’ll have the opportunity to play, experiment, and enjoy the process. No previous artistic experience is necessary!
