3008 - Wabi-Sabi Wonder

[back to quicklinks]
$ 135 Plus $5 materials fee

Wabi-sabi is the Japanese art of finding beauty in imperfection and profundity in nature; of accepting natural cycles It's simple, slow, and uncluttered and reveres authenticity above all.  We’ll honor ourselves and go with the flow as we create a set of simple, eloquent, and, yes, gorgeous abstract pieces. The word “abstract” doesn’t have to scare you! I’ll show you how to let delightful accidents and mistakes lead you to creating with a playful spirit. We’ll cover some basic shapes and designs to start you on your journey. Using acrylic medium, acrylic paint, acrylic ink, and artist pens, you’ll discover relaxing ways of interacting with your materials and your inner self. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, you’ll leave with four small paintings and with inspiration to continue the Wabi-Sabi way.
