Art Class: Modern Abstract Painting

Explore abstract painting and layered texture in this elevated art class with Instructor Diana. 


Step into this elevated, abstract and texture-focused art class designed for adults seeking creative freedom beyond traditional paint-and-sip sessions. This immersive workshop centers on self-expression through color, movement and tactile, layered materials rather than recreating a single design. You'll experiment with abstract acrylic painting, dimensional texture-building and mixed-media collage techniques to create a one-of-a-kind piece.


From palette knife applications to metallic accents and optional alcohol ink exploration, this class encourages personal interpretation and bold artistic choices. This experience is perfect for those looking to unwind and explore contemporary abstract techniques in a supportive and inspiring setting. You’ll leave with a textured artwork that reflects your unique vision.
