**ONLINE WORKSHOP** Introduction to Abstracts - Inspiration & Creative Expression
Non-representational abstract painting is an exciting way to create with freedom, according to your own interpretation and feelings, rather than representing actual objects. We will explore ways to kick-start an abstract and use line, shapes, colours, textures and gestural marks to achieve exciting compositions.
