When you visit a museum do you head straight for the Krasner? Mondrian? Rothko? Mitchell? Then this class is for you! I won’t teach you to mimic these artists, but what I will teach you is how to channel and express emotions through painting. The abstract landscape is a deliberate departure from reality whether you’re using a real one as a model or creating a new image from imagination, memory or emotional experience. It can be a serious cathartic expression, a dazzling burst of whimsical color or something from in between.

Let’s find what these places look like!
