Introduction to Abstracting at TAG
2026-06-25 11:00 - 16:00 | Tappahannock Artist Guild, Prince Street, Tappahannock, VA, 22560, United States
Explore the basics of abstract art in a relaxed, hands-on session. In this introductory workshop, you’ll experiment with color, shape, and texture to create your own abstract piece, with gentle guidance from VMFA instructor Leigh Anne Chambers.
This course is an introduction to creating an abstract painting from loose sketches in paint on watercolor paper, then mounting the paper on panel. Students will create a variety of sketches in paint derived or influenced by at least one object from nature. The sketches will be in acrylic on watercolor paper incorporating different techniques that range from pouring paint to making prints to including their own personal style. There will be an informal critique where the student will consider which sketch to finish and then mount with gel medium on a 12” x 12” wood panel to create a finished painting.
No prior experience needed—just curiosity. By joining, you support the Tappahannock Artists Guild’s mission to keep art accessible in our community.
