Color Play
Exploring abstract painting through bold color combinations and patterns.
I am so excited to launch my new course, Color Play! Inspired by my love of vibrant colors, expressive lines and shapes, this course is loaded with lessons and techniques to build up your confidence in abstract painting.
In this course, you will find three gorgeous lessons, each building upon the next. We create an inspiration color bundle of mini paintings, then work on watercolor paper with acrylics and mixed media supplies. We finally move on to a canvas and paint an incredible show-stopper piece that I guarantee you will love!
Plus, grab a cup of tea for the Bonus lesson, where I share a pile of my abstract work for an art critique, breaking down all the elements in abstract painting - color, value, composition, movement, contrast, and balance.

Read MoreThis course has been enjoyable right from the beginning. As a retired muralist, this has been so refreshing, informative and immersive! I would wake up in the morning and think about painting immediately! Andrea is completely thorough in all her explanations and instructions! And I would love to have her as a friend, because she seems so sweet! My finished pieces really pretty and I am looking forward to applying some of these techniques to my future work! I have already signed up for another class before I even finished this one, because I feel she has much more for me to learn! I hope that you enjoy your painting journey as much as I have!
