Explore the art of abstraction through bold color, playful shapes, and imaginative composition.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create vibrant abstract cityscapes by applying color theory and composition practices. Using mixed media, you’ll paint vibrant cityscapes, incorporating the magical use of shape and color in the style of master artist, Paul Klee.

No prior painting experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore. You’ll leave with a finished artwork ready to display.

Please note: Hands will get messy, so please dress accordingly.
