This class has been a fan favorite since I began teaching it, and remains one of my more popular classes! This is the class that will get you to hang your work in your home or office proudly. You’ll get instruction on how to build a successful composition, art concepts, some tried and true color theory and paint blending basics, and paint applications. We will talk about adding media, as well as utilize both liquid paints and heavy body paints. 
Most of all, you will learn what works, and create your own, while quieting your mind and letting your subconscious guide your choices. I’m there to coax you along, give you color mixing and compositional advice, some hands on assistance, and show you examples that will inspire your work.
Painting Abstracts doesn’t require any special practice or prior experience, and the benefits of letting your mind create in this way are bountiful. Abstract art challenges our brains to create our own interpretations, thereby stimulating the higher-level areas of the brain responsible for creativity and imagination.
Specifically, it can-
  • teach us to look at art—and, in a sense, at the world—in a new way. 
  • free our brain from the dominance of reality, to create imaginative and creative responses to everyday problems.
  • allow you to achieve ‘flow’, that elusive meditative state that reduces stress, and temporarily pushes aside all of your worries!

You may bring any canvas size of your choosing to this class, but please keep it under 48×36 inches maximum.

This class is BYOB, and drinking, (or eating, if you’d like to bring snacks), are always options!

I am dedicated to offering stress free, stress reducing art classes that are fun, no matter what your art experience may be!  

While you go at your own rate in all my classes, this tends to be an energetic, high intensity class. 

*As with all Ruthi Makes classes, no previous experience in art or special talents are necessary!*

My Favorite Class

Ruthi makes it so easy to understand color theory and how to use all of the tools to create your very own abstract art. I have my pieces displayed all over my home and I often get compliments on them. I will continue to sign up for this one every time I am available!

So much fun!

I think this was my third class with Ruthie! She is an amazing teacher and her classes are always so fun! Art is definitely therapeutic for me and Ruthie makes it so easy to learn, and then work on your own, at your own pace, but she is there if you get stuck. Loves this one so much! Will sign up again in the Spring.

Love everything RuthiMakes!!

I’ve taken numerous RuthiMakes classes, and love them all! She gives expert instruction and then lets you explore with as much (or as little) guidance as you want. The classes are always so good for a reset for me!❤️❤️
