Acrylic pouring is a method for creating beautiful abstract images. The painting process is achieved by layering various methods and using different techniques and tools. Pouring is a great way to create interesting texture, patterns, and marbleized effects. In this class we will use bubble wrap to create an abstract spring garden. We’ll create a beautiful blue sky and then you’ll pick your favorite flower colors to create puddles, shades of green for the leaves and stems. We will then layer bubble wrap over the painting to create a stunning 3D flower effect. Each step you will be given options for how to proceed to make the painting your own and how you prefer.

Nature is a great source of inspiration for all kinds of art, and abstract painting is no exception. Take a walk outside and look for shapes, colors, and forms that catch your eye. We will demonstrate that by simplifying natural elements, manipulating color, form, and using bold color palettes, and layering techniques we can convey a feeling or emotion rather than a realistic depiction of a specific object.

Presentations, art theory discussions and pin-up critique will allow for everyone to understand and develop their design narratives. Participants learn to create different layered abstractions and dynamic works by combining various elements and techniques.

Monochrome painting is art composed in a single color. It utilizes various shades or tints, so the images become incredibly evocative and most importantly what you lose in not using color you’ll gain in quality of composition and contrast. Color is no longer a distraction. The focus is on the overall composition. Also mark-making is improved by enabling the discovery of different forms and shapes with subtle tones. Painting with a single color can improve your art because it makes you concentrate on elements such as line, value, lighting and form.

A successful painting relies on the harmonious interplay of essential elements: color, value, technique, and a clear focal point. In this workshop, Aline explores these fundamental principles through an innovative approach—viewing subjects as abstract shapes to create compelling illustrative works. Students will work from their own photographic references, transforming them into expressive pastel paintings. Through daily painting demonstrations, Aline will guide participants in understanding color through the lens of temperature, intensity, and value, while demonstrating how to translate these concepts using pastel techniques. A key focus will be the practice of building shapes and strategically carving back into them to achieve a dynamic, painterly finish. This class is a great choice for intermediate and advanced-level pastel painters.
