Abstract Painting, Demystified

If abstract painting has ever moved you and left you wondering how anyone gets there, this is a way in. You'll spend time with Wassily Kandinsky, Mark Rothko, Agnes Martin, Hilma af Klint, and Sonia Delaunay, five painters who each built a visual language of their own. Each session pairs art history with a guided practice drawn from that painter's way of working. Because it's audio, you build the painting in your mind first, so there's nothing to copy, and whatever arrives, arrives from you. A sixth session brings it all together, so you can see what's becoming your own. No experience needed, and there's no wrong way to do this. By the end you'll have five practices to return to, and the beginning of a way of working that's yours. Music sourced from MusOpen and Wikimedia Commons.
