New! Abstract Tape Resist PaintingAbstract Tape Resist Painting on Canvas Workshop

Ages: 7+, teens and adults - up to 22 participants

90 min. workshop

Explore the world of vibrant colors, unleash your creativity, and embrace the beauty of negative space. No brushes required, just a flair for originality and a passion for self-expression. During this hands-on workshop, you'll discover the art of tape resist and create an abstract, angular masterpiece on a 10” x 10” stretched canvas using acrylics and tape. Dive into discussions on negative space, experiment with design elements, and blend a limitless range of colors to achieve the perfect effect. Once complete, leave your artwork to dry overnight, allowing the tape to work its magic. Feel the anticipation as you peel back the tape, revealing your stunning creation, ready to be displayed with pride.
