From Paint to Scissors: Creating Beautiful Abstract Art with Acrylic Inks and Oil Pastels

In this intuitive painting workshop, we explore the use of acrylic inks and oil pastels to create stunning abstract pieces. We begin with the free-flowing process of intuitive painting, using a combination of water and acrylic inks to create beautiful patterns and color blends. Then, we add creative mark-making with Matt Graphite, oil pastels, and gold mica ink to add depth and dimension to our pieces.

But the fun doesn't stop there! We also take our big pieces and do some fun cutting up to create well-designed abstract pieces that can stand alone or be combined to create a larger piece. By the end of the class, you'll have a better understanding of abstract art techniques and how to use them to create beautiful, unique pieces. So grab your supplies and join us for this exciting art adventure!
