Optional supplies if you want to get ~fancy~: your favourite stationary, washi tape, stickers and collaging materials!

Abstract art at first glance can look easy, but then your first attempt looks like the aftermath of a toddler’s lunch.

How do abstract artists do it? What is the difference between abstract art, and a plain mess? How do we guide the eye, evoke emotion, and generate curiosity with imagery that barely tells of a line?

 In Midori’s workshop, participants will learn things like the rule of three, balancing soft and hard lines, guiding the eye, and creative spatter, and how to apply these to abstract art.

Supplies Needed: any basic painting surfaces and supplies

We all have an intuitive sense, but learning to listen to it takes time and practice. This workshop will guide you through tips and techniques for working with your intuition while making art. The discussions and exercises are designed to connect you with your inner voice and learn to overcome doubt. Join this workshop for a fun and engaging journey connecting with your creative intuition.

This workshop will take place remotely over the zoom platform. The workshop content is planned to be about an hour long, with an additional 15 minutes for questions or open discussions at the end. The workshop will feature a balance of instructor presentation, facilitated group discussions, and individual and group exercises with lots of opportunities for participants to ask questions

Lead by Laura Rechwan, who has many years of experience as a professional artist, instructor, and arts administrator. As the daughter of a Psychic Intuitive Medium, listening to her creative intuition has always been an integral part of her art practice and she loves to share her knowledge and passion with other artists.
