Learn to paint an expressive abstract seascape while exploring the color, shape, atmosphere, and emotional qualities found in the abstract paintings of Mark Rothko.

In this step-by-step acrylic painting workshop, Ashley will guide you through creating your own Abstract Seascape using layered color, simplified shapes, texture, and expressive brushwork. Along the way, you'll explore ideas inspired by Rothko's approach to color and composition and discover how simple shapes and color relationships can create a sense of depth and emotion.

You'll learn how to build an abstract background, layer colors to create atmosphere, simplify a seascape into shapes and forms, and use brushwork and texture to create a finished painting with your own artistic personality.

Your painting doesn't have to look exactly like Ashley's.

Follow along step by step, or use what you learn to experiment with your own colors, shapes, textures, brushstrokes, and creative choices. Change the colors of the sky and water, adjust the shapes, or create your own interpretation of the seascape to make a painting that feels uniquely yours.
