Abstract Bliss:

This online class is open to all skill levels and all creative spirits looking to deepen their painting practice, broaden their painting skills, work their bravery muscles in the studio and expand their personal voice in their paintings!

No, you do not need a separate studio space for this course, but you will get the most out of it if you have a spot in your home where you can easily set up to paint, or that is dedicated just to painting. This could be a corner of your kitchen, dining room or just a cabinet where you store your supplies so you can easily access them when your inspiration strikes. Some of our projects will be messy and you will want a place where you can feel free to let those spirits lead you without worry. We will give you a list of art supplies, many of which you probably already have in your studio/art bin. We'll primarily use acrylic paints and watercolors, we'll go into detail during our first week of class sharing our favorite brands with you.

Basic course material include: 4-6 canvases (around 12 by 12 inches or larger), a simple set of acrylic paint including white & black, a simple watercolor set, a cold pressed watercolor pad, acrylic paint pens & markers, a variety of pens & pencils, gold leaf & foil, adhesive (modpodge or mat medium), a variety of sizes of paint brushes. You will also need a camera (just the camera on your phone is fine!) to document your work as you create it, and share it with the class if you choose to!

You'll have instant and forever access to all course material & workshop content, to enjoy, explore and dive into as many times as you like. You simply need to be logged into your account on Ruzuku, the site that hosts my online classes, to access the workshop!

You will have access to the course material forever, so you can go at your own pace in this Self Study Class! No need to worry if you miss a class or a week or a lesson! We want this class to feed your inspiration, and be a receptive place where you can relax and re-energize your art practice. You will go at your own pace through this class, there is no place for guilt or pressure to complete projects. Participants can share their projects in our private Facebook Group to gain feedback from a community of artists around the world, as well as on Instagram as they feel led using our tag #abstractbliss, gaining feedback and inspiration from each other!

We have our own easy to access password protected online classroom where you’ll have instant and forever access to all of the course material to go at your own pace. Through video lessons Mati and Faith will both invite you into their studios, discuss supplies and share all of their tips & tricks. The course will have a strong weekly rhythm, with posts 5 days a week for the 8 weeks of the class. Our goal is to keep you on track and inspired! We'll also have our special social media tag #abstractbliss to use when you share your work online throughout the course, building our community and tribe. You do not have to check into the class at specific times. You can access all of the content and assignments as your own schedule permits, and in your own time zone. We'd love for everyone to check into the online classroom and read new course material several times a week so that you stay connected to the momentum of your painting practice, however we understand that especially since this is a Self Study Class, everyone will be at their own pace!

You can choose to share your art with the group by posting it in the private Facebook Community, this will be a completely private place for all of our students, past and present, and any thing shared there will only be visible to others signed up for our classes. Sharing your work is an important part of learning to paint, developing your style and growing your work. We encourage participation and discussion within our online groups, any mean and overly critical dialogue will not be tolerated. We encourage and strive to create a safe, positive environment for sharing and growing together!
