You've watched tutorials.

Tried techniques.

Started paintings full of excitement only to have them fall apart halfway through.


Here's the truth:

Most abstract painting instruction teaches techniques.

Very little teaches the principles behind those techniques.

That's exactly what we'll focus on in this workshop.

If you're here, you've probably experienced this...

"you have given me the gift of freedom through abstraction!"

"I now have concrete foundational skills and principles that have really built my confidence"



Andrea has such a generous spirit and shares her wealth of knowledge and experience in ways that really help you grow as an artist. After taking this class, I feel like I now have concrete foundational skills and principles that have really built my confidence.

Your course was presented to me at the right time and right place. I still enjoy realism, however, now I understand realism and abstraction can be combined-or-I can paint either one separately. I will tell you, you have given me the gift of freedom through abstraction!

I'm Andrea Cermanski—an abstract painter, gallery-represented artist, and educator with nearly 30 years of studio experience and more than 20 years of teaching experience.

I believe abstract painting isn't mysterious—it's misunderstood.

Most instruction focuses on techniques. I teach the principles behind those techniques so you understand why a painting works, not just what to do next.

In this workshop, I'll show you the foundational concepts that help painters stop second-guessing themselves, make stronger decisions, and create more cohesive, confident abstract paintings.

Because when you understand the "why," everything starts to click.
