The Inspired Abstract – Online Workshop
An Online Workshop with Julie Bernstein Engelmann
February 22 – 25, 2021
This four-day workshop gives you a powerful foundation for abstract painting. Using layers, you’ll be guided to enter the painting process naturally, develop a deep and luscious visual space, and weave into it exquisite brush-marks that grow from a personally meaningful inspiration. You’ll learn to see the spirit in your painting and gently enhance it, so it can shine powerfully.
A focus of this workshop is to find ease in bringing your mid-process “beautiful abstract mess” to completion. You’ll create two acrylic paintings that embody meaning, naturalness, and spatial depth and flow – qualities that lift an abstract painting from amateur to professional. The schedule allows for those who wish to work outside of the class more time to do so.Available Dates:
February 22 – 25, 2021

Creativity is a process of allowing. It begins with an inner spark, which you feed, develop and actualize. Creativity must be nurtured into being. It can be both magical and astounding. But it arises when we relax enough to invite it in. Coaxing forth its flow, a wellspring of creative solutions bubble to the surface. Inner wisdom helps us initiate skillful, creative action.

In this one-day online painting clinic, you’ll be amazed to discover that your unfinished piece is most likely only a few well-placed brushstrokes away from being fabulous. Starting with what you love in your piece, Julie will train your eye to see how to enhance the depth and flow, which is key. She will demonstrate relevant critique points to illuminate what is really happening in your painting so you can bring it home to fulfilled completion.

You’ll focus on 1-2 pieces in any medium; acrylic is ideal. Attendance is limited to eight participants for plenty of one-on-one attention, plus group discussion, demonstration, and working time. Using an online class forum, you’ll post photos before and during the clinic, and will be able to receive follow-up feedback for two weeks afterward.
