Paint a Bright Abstract Landscape Step-by-Step (Negative Painting Technique)

Paint a vibrant abstract landscape with me in this step-by-step acrylic painting workshop, using negative painting, bright colour, and layered techniques to create depth, atmosphere, and glow. In this class, I guide you through the entire process, showing you how to build a painting from the ground up using my signature approach. We work with bold colour, stencil layers, and intuitive mark-making to create a richly layered abstract landscape that feels both structured and expressive. Along the way, you’ll learn some of my favourite techniques — including colour rubs, gesso soup, and glazing — all designed to help you achieve luminous, complex surfaces without overworking your painting.
