Slice of Time

Abstract On Paper

Regular Price: $42.00

In this single lesson, I take my inspiration from a moment in time, hold on to it through art— and create a beautiful reminder. I believe we all have moments like this, but, life speeds by in a flash. I want to encourage you to take time for yourself, time with someone you love, and respond to this moment through your artwork. It will reveal your authentic voice as an artist as you connect with the experience and your art.

Abstract on Paper

I will guide you step by step as we build layers of paint on paper intuitively to create an abstract. Then we will take a viewfinder to find the unique parts of the painting, cut them out, and mount them onto a wood panel. We will then add our finishing touches with colored pencils, soft pastels, and graphite.
