Are you ready to enjoy the wondrous world of abstract art?

Over 13 hours of comprehensive video content and six downloadable guides! Intuitive Abstract: Finding Our Way is all about learning to trust the process, exploring the process of creating abstract art, and how to adopt a mindset of risk, experimentation, and play!

Yet, the world of abstract art can feel very elusive.  Our goal is focusing on finding our way into abstract art through comprehensive modules filled to the brim with lessons and effective strategies to ignite your imagination and get you started - immediately.

Intuitive Abstracts is all about process. We bring our intuition as well as curiosity into our art, each move we intuitively make, informs where we go next.

We will use acrylics as well as mixed media to enhance our experimentation and ignite our imaginations.


Your Intuitive Abstract Guides

And, what even makes this course more extraordinary is I will be joined by two AMAZING abstract artists: Christina Hennig and Marianne H. Nielsen.

You will be treated to over four hours of content between these artists! Over 13 hours of video content in this amazing course. Both Christina and Marianne will walk you through not only in their detailed step-by-step demonstrations, but they will discuss their thought process for every painting decision they make.

Imagine Yourself Sitting Side-by-Side with Me, Christina and Marianne

As always, all of my online classes allow my students to feel like I am right there working through each step of the process. Very "unscripted" and real, my online classes are a combination of me talking and explaining the process as well as many video demonstrations. Now, you will have the addition of two wonderful abstract art instructors, each one allowing you into their thought process. 

This class has something for everyone and the possibilities are endless. Whether you want to learn all about composition in abstract art, paint small abstract studies, learn all about color, find inspiration, start an Art Journal practice, paint in a series, understand layering techniques, create on paper and canvas, or move from your journal and go bigger, this class offers you a place to nurture your own style and invites creative expression in the elements of abstract design. This class is all about growing your own voice, trusting the process as an abstract artist; we can’t wait to show you how.

Workshop Format

THE ONLINE STUDIO WORKSHOP IS PRE-RECORDED AND IS HOSTED ON THE EASY-TO-USE THINKIFIC PLATFORM.

Once you join, consider this a self-study class where you can go at your own pace, for as long as you like. Doesn't Lifetime Access sound great?

You will also have an opportunity to join my Facebook Group - Alexis Bonavitacola Art Classes - where all students in all of my classes share joyfully in my amazing learning community of artists. This is totally a personal decision and you can choose to join without the pressure of needing to be part of our group.

My Alexis Bonavitacola Art Classes Facebook group is full of encouragement, inspiration, motivation, and support. We are all learners in the process of becoming artists.
