Abstract Herringbone Painting Workshop
Learn to paint a modern abstract herringbone painting while exploring the geometric shapes, bold composition, and structured designs of Piet Mondrian and other influential abstract artists.
In this step-by-step acrylic painting workshop, Ashley will guide you through creating your own Abstract Herringbone painting using geometric shapes, repeating patterns, color, and expressive brushwork. Along the way, you'll explore ideas inspired by Mondrian's approach to abstraction, balance, and simplified forms.
You'll learn how to create a balanced abstract composition, work with repeating geometric shapes, use color to create contrast and harmony, layer acrylic paint, and combine pattern and brushwork to create an interesting finished painting.
