Experience the freedom of working abstractly by looking through the lens of expression. Ruth Gilmore Langs works with students to move from what is seen in the known representational world, to what is felt in the heart and soul. Working in acrylics, Ruth teaches students to source short mediations and creative exercises as an infinite wellspring of personal expression. Students will concentrate on form and color, working with gestural spontaneity and intuitive rhythm to create an evocative aesthetic experience on their canvas. Whether you are new to abstraction and acrylics, want to loosen up your style, or looking for ways to awaken your abstract painting practice to a deeper, more spiritual level of connection, this joyful, positive workshop offers numerous ways for thinking and feeling about the purpose and possibilities of artistic creativity. All Levels Welcome

The AAN Studio is equipped with glass top sliding carts that make perfect glass palettes. However, you will want to bring a large plastic bin or tray with palette paper and a lid. Because the studio is used for evening classes and storage room is at a minimum, students are asked to transport their supplies to and from the studio each day. We also supply vegetable oil, dawn soap, and Gamsol for clean up.
