Abstract Art
£140.00
Priced per course
Learn the visual language of abstract art and understand how to use the elements of line, form, tone, colour, shape and pattern.
Learn the techniques needed to create personal abstract art images.
A series of exercises and mini projects take students on a creative journey to creating abstract art.
Suitable for: Adults
Teaching Level: Beginners, Improvers, Intermediate
Course Structure
Students will be guided to explore acrylic paint along with a variety of materials, learning many new techniques that will inspire and give them the confidence to develop their own abstract language and style.
Learn to love mark-making
Session 1
Making marks on paper is the ‘a-b-c’ of drawing and learning to expand the range of marks you use will enrich your drawing and painting experience. This session is about play and experimenting with your materials to broaden your creative and self-expressive skills.
Create visual conversations
Session 2
Developing the language of abstract art is about building visual conversations in paint. This session teaches you how to develop increasingly complex mark-making and start to create coherent pictures with underlying structure.
Embracing colour and layers
Session 3
It’s time to introduce the dynamics of colour and learn how this element adds a whole new dimension to our abstract art compositions. This session is about colour, developing more complex layering and surface texture to add depth and interest to our visual story telling.
See your world as abstract
Session 4
Influences from other artists in vital to developing your abstract art. Students will also be taught how to use the world around them as a never-ending source of inspiration. This session introduces outside influences and gives students the opportunity to fully explore all their learning and take their first steps towards developing self-expressive abstract compositions in their own fledgling styles.
By the end of the course…
Students will go home feeling revitalised and excited about new ways of drawing, painting and mark making to create personal and individualistic abstract art.

To help you answer the question,
“What level course is right for me?”
To help you decide what level course is best, you will see Teaching Levels on each of the course pages above the ‘Add to cart’ button.
Students will always benefit from clear instructions and lots of one-to-one tuition on all of my courses.
Level 0: Absolute-beginner
For those students who have never done any art as an adult or perhaps may have dabbled a little many years ago. Teaching focuses on fundamental core skills, leading students step by step, with loads of 1:1 support and guidance.
Level 1: Beginner
For those students who have done very little art or are returning to art after a long break and feel they need to gain a foundation in the basic techniques.
Teaching focuses on core skills with tutor-led exercises on use of materials and techniques
Level 2: Improver
For those students who have done some art learning, draw or paint occasionally at home or attend an art group, and feel they need to improve beyond their grasp of the basic techniques.
Teaching focuses on core skills, understanding and use of the Art Elements + Principles, materials + techniques, with tutor-led exercises and mini projects.
Level 3: Intermediate
For those students who have learnt the basic techniques, have gained some level of artistic confidence and are seeking to develop their skills further to create more complex or larger-scale artwork.
Teaching focuses on developing art skills, creative techniques and individual styles, students’ ability to self-assess their work, encouraging experimentation, with tutor-led exercises and time for extended projects with the benefit of group critiques.
Level 4: Experienced
For those students confident in their abilities and techniques, who are looking to challenge themselves further, to create a coherent body of work, possibly to exhibit and sell.
Teaching focuses on guiding students in developing their own ideas and self-directed practice, through enhancing personal skills and techniques and encouraging a deeper contextual awareness with the benefit of one-to-one tutorials.
To help you answer the question,
“What course should I do next?”
There are 2 approaches to deciding what to do next.
Whichever approach you choose, remember to check the Teaching Levels (eg: Level 1, Level 2, or mixed ability).
