Are you seeking more flow and freedom in your art practice? Creating watercolour abstracts is a beautiful way to let go and immerse yourself in relaxation.

Then, we’ll bring our pieces to life through mark-making, experimenting with a variety of materials, including water-soluble pastels, oil pastels, pencils, and paint markers. Together, we’ll embrace the joy of layering, revealing, and adding intuitive details like dots, fine lines, and gestural marks to enhance your composition.

DAY 2

Class:  Imaginary Animals (click here)
Artist: Carla Sonheim

 

My absolute favorite way to paint is to begin with no idea of what I’m going to make, and let the painting itself do the heavy lifting and “tell” me what it wants to become. We’ll start with random mark-making with water soluble crayons, pencils and other media, then add layers of gesso and acrylics to create a richly textured background. We’ll repeat the process of adding and subtracting areas until we begin to “see” the start of something… a rabbit ear, a horse’s nose, etc.… and from there we will nudge our subjects into being with pencil, watercolors, crayons and more.

Class: Glaze Craze (click here)
Artist: Andrea Gomoll

 

In my lesson we will paint a fun, playful and loose watercolor portrait of a whimsical girl. We will focus on the magic of transparency, glazing and layering with watercolors in this lesson, which are some of my favourite parts when working with watercolors.

This playful and creative project is perfect for mixed-media enthusiasts and art lovers alike—whether you want a unique book to continue adding to or a finished piece to admire. Let’s dive into the process and have some fun!

DAY 3

Class: Intuitive Mixed Media for Self-Care (click here)
Artist: Jessica Swift

 

In this class I’ll create a mixed media painting, showing how I use the art-making process as a way to tune into my inner voice and to listen inwardly for a powerful, personal message. I’ll incorporate that message into my mixed media creation, and I’ll give students tips about listening to their own inner voice and how to use art as a way to strengthen their relationships with their own inner selves as I paint. I will demonstrate my intuitive painting process – painting without a plan and letting my intuition lead the way.

I will walk you through the decision-making process I used to balance the differences within my art.

Class: Layers, Layers, Layers (click here)

It is no secret to those who know me that my favorite part of creating art is making layers. And then making more layers! For me, the process of creating layer after layer is the core of mixed media.
