ABSTRACT PAINTING UNLEASHED with Jodi Ohl
Friday, November 6th and Saturday, November 7th, 10am-5 pm both days - $455
If you're drawn to abstract art with strong visual impact but struggle to create paintings that feel cohesive rather than chaotic, this workshop is designed for you.
During this two-day immersive studio experience, you'll learn the process Jodi uses to build dynamic abstract paintings filled with movement, contrast, texture, and personality. Through a series of guided exercises, demonstrations, and hands-on experimentation, you'll develop original shapes, marks, and visual language that feel authentic to your own work. Together, we'll explore:
- Creating strong compositions without relying on rigid formulas
- Building layers that add depth, history, and interest
- Using bold color, graphic elements, and contrast with intention
- Developing confident mark-making that energizes a painting
- Knowing when to push a piece further—and when to stop
This workshop is about learning how to make stronger decisions, trust your instincts, and discover new possibilities within your own creative process.
One of the greatest advantages of working in person is the opportunity to create alongside other artists. You'll gain fresh perspectives, learn through shared experiences, and leave with new ideas that often emerge only when artists gather together.
→ Artists can expect to complete one to two mid-sized abstract paintings incorporating texture, collage, and layered acrylic techniques. Each day begins with focused warm-up exercises and demonstrations that provide practical tools you can continue using long after the workshop ends.
This workshop is open to makers of all levels with some experience working in acrylics. If you would like to create bold, contemporary abstract art that tells your story, jump in and join us for Abstract Painting Unleashed!
