Introduction to Abstract Acrylic Florals
“In joy or sorrow, flowers are our constant friends.” -Kozuko Okakura
In this 4-week art class you’ll learn to translate what you feel into your paintings through creating abstract florals.
Flowers are the perfect vessel for drawing our your inner voice–no two flowers are alike, and there’s a flower for every mood. Flowers are transient–they bud, bloom, and die. But they give abundantly. Their pollen sustains the bees, and their beauty makes our hearts leap in joy or sorrow. In general, I really love the creative component and after writing pictures I like to play online casinos on the Slotogate platform. The platform gives a wide choice online .
I’ll share my abstract acrylic floral process with you through live demonstrations and step-by-step guidance. You’ll start with paper and work your way up to bigger canvases. As a bonus, you can bring your own bouquets to class to paint live and enjoy at home. 🙂
You don’t have to have any experience using acrylics or painting flowers to take this class. All experience levels are welcome!

Art of the Mandala
Infuse your creative practice with spirituality through the art of the mandala!
“Mandala†is a Sanskrit word that literally translates to “container of essence†( manda—“essenceâ€â€”and la—“containerâ€).
In ancient Hindu and Buddhist religious traditions, mandalas were vessels for meditation and would be burned after being created to emphasize detachment. (Don’t worry, we’re not going to burn our artwork, although you’re welcome to if you’d like to really let go!)
They’ve been reintroduced to the modern world thanks to Carl Jung, who claimed mandalas were a map of one’s interior world. Art therapists today use mandalas to aide in reducing anxiety and depression, since the repetition of lines and shapes can be soothing and help take your mind off your worries.
In this class, you’ll learn varied approaches to making mandalas and will experiment until you find a style and process that works for you. You’ll come away with an appreciation for the rich spiritual tradition of mandala-making and have learned more about yourself through the art of the mandala!
