Acrylic Painting: Playing with Inspiration, Color, and Form

Learn to see the world around you differently as you turn inspiration into abstract art.

Artist Amber Vittoria is known for the flowing, abstract forms she creates in her paintings, and in this class, she’ll share her unique way of taking inspiration and interpreting it into her groundbreaking work. You’ll dive deep and watch over Amber’s shoulder as she makes three abstract acrylic paintings from start to finish. Whether you’re looking to shake up your work with some new colors and forms, or just want to dedicate some time to dig deeper into the creative process, you’re sure to gain something from this chance to work alongside Amber.

Along the way, you’ll learn all about:

• Unique places to find inspiration, and how to see the world in new ways to create abstract work
• Ways to incorporate experimentation as you plan out your piece, playing with different forms and colors along the way 
• The specific acrylic painting techniques she uses to create her signature work

Amber’s loose and playful process removes the pressure from making art and turns it into a fun process where you get to learn more with every painting you make. You’ll walk away with a finished piece of abstract work, plenty of experiments to help you grow your skills and find your style, and a totally new way of seeing the world around you. 

This class is suitable for students of any level. While Amber will be working with acrylic paints, you’re welcome to join along with any mediums you prefer.
