Wabi-sabi--the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature; of accepting natural cycles. It's simple, slow, and uncluttered and reveres authenticity above all. We’ll honor ourselves and go with the flow as we create a set of simple, eloquent, and, yes, gorgeous abstract pieces. The word “abstract” doesn’t have to scare you! I’ll show you how to let delightful accidents and mistakes lead you to creating with a playful spirit. We’ll cover some basic compositions and designs to start you on your journey. Using acrylic medium, acrylic paint, Ranger reinkers and alcohol inks, tissue, Asian papers, and artist pens, you’ll discover relaxing ways of interacting with your materials and your inner self. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, you’ll leave with four or more paintings and with inspiration to continue the Wabi-Sabi way. If you've taken a Wabi-Sabi classf rom from me before and loved it, feel free to join us! I’ll have new techniques and ideas for you!
