This guided mixed-media experience shows you how easy it is to get started creating abstract art. Harness your intuition and create artwork alongside the teacher.

Feel free to pause the videos to add more time to work on your painting.

You will use watercolor, soft pastel, acrylic, and spray paint to create an expressive painting on paper.
