Color Play Abstract Paint Course

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.

Inspiration Color Bundle

Create your own masterpiece with these little 3x3” squares.

Explore color combinations and shapes in these mini paintings. We will play with acrylics and paint pens to create an incredible color palette and an entry into an abstract composition. This exercise is playful and a reminder of how powerful color and simple lines can be. I LOVE seeing all of them together, which is why we create 16 small pieces – they make a perfect square! PLUS, I added in a fun Bonus project to make with this lesson.

Color Pops

The color palette I am using is so dreamy in blues, violets, greens, and of course, pinks!

In this lesson, we will go further with acrylics and paint pens and add one of my favorite art supplies Neo Color IIs to the party. We are taking the basic principles of abstract painting and layering in some gorgeous color combinations. In this lesson, we work on smooth, hot-press watercolor paper while layering in many shapes, lines, and detail

Color Me Happy

Are you ready for the showstopper? Contemporary abstract with a nod to Mod.

We paint with almost every color in the rainbow except browns and yellows! Colors are tone-on-tone, some bright and opaque giving this painting a lush and vibrant feel. I promise you will smile a lot in this class, especially in this lesson, as these colors will make you sing with joy (you can't help it!).

Abstract Critique

Grab a cup of tea or a glass of wine 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. You may want to look at this video first!

Art Supplies

Playing with all my favorites!

Color Play is loaded with gorgeous art supplies as we create bright and bold color combinations, shapes, and lines. It’s easy to get swept away with art supplies, especially when you begin a new class. I suggest that you substitute with what you have on hand. I've made my best discoveries through substitution. I always recommend watching the video first; if there is something new, decide if you want to try it. Check out the free video on art supplies and links in the preview lesson.

This 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!

Finally!! I've paid for classes from other artists, but Andrea is a true teacher. I actually followed her instructions; then I was able to create my own art using techniques learned. I actually "learned" something!! Thanks so much. I'll be purchasing many more classes. ❤️

My Abstract Style

The beauty of abstract art is that there are endless options for how to create a piece.

Abstract painting is about being expressive with each layer while building up the details. I primarily paint circles, arches, dabs, dots, and lines, inspired by natural organic shapes like smooth beach rocks, sea glass, eggs, or flower petals. My color choices are always ones I love and that sing to me, and then I take those and have fun playing with different color combinations.
