Are you ready to go deeper with your abstract art? In this class, you'll learn how to generate ideas and develop them into abstract paintings.
You'll see me working on various paintings that explore a theme. It's a very real process with plenty of experimentation and problem-solving. As I work, I talk through the supplies, techniques, and design choices I am making.
As you can see, I've chosen an earthy, nature-inspired theme. You might prefer to work with bright colours and a completely different mark-making style. That's completely up to you. This class is all about taking your sparks and turning them into creative fire!
Class Overview
This class includes 2-3 hours of professionally edited video instruction, broken down into manageable chunks. The videos are supported by written content in the classroom.
The focus of this class is on discovering more about yourself and your art through abstract experimentation.
You will see several start-to-finish painting demonstrations where I talk you through my thinking and decision-making process.
Inside this course, you will ...
- Use journaling and writing prompts to stimulate ideas for abstract pieces.
- Choose a theme to explore in more depth.
- Ease the pressure and warm up with mixed-media on paper.
- Take your work onto a different substrate; try wooden panels or perhaps canvases.
- Experiment with new techniques and materials.
- Allow the process to be your guide rather than the result.
- Reflect on your work to take advantage of learning opportunities.
“Creativity takes courage.” – Henri Matisse
Laura's classes have taught me so much and allowed me to feel much more confident in creating work.

Class Materials
I use all sorts in this class as I'm deliberately trying to think outside the box and spark possibilities for you. I can't stress enough that you don't need all of the supplies listed to enjoy this class.
Many students enjoy watching the videos first before making their supply choices.
