Looking to infuse your painting with more creativity and expressive energy? This engaging and hands-on class with Connie Geerts, is your opportunity to move beyond realism and dive into the exciting world of abstraction—while still keeping a strong connection to recognizable forms.
Through guided instruction and creative exploration, you'll experiment with a range of techniques that introduce bold, abstract elements into your work. You’ll discover how to loosen up your approach, break free from strict representation, and develop a more personal, intuitive style.
This class is perfect for artists of all levels—from adventurous beginners to experienced painters—who are ready to explore new territory and challenge their artistic boundaries. You’ll work with subjects that inspire you, and leave with unique pieces that reflect your own creative voice.
Join us for an inspiring artistic journey that will spark fresh ideas, energize your process, and help you see your work in a whole new light. Let’s paint beyond the expected!
