The Vandal’s voyage abstract painting course
A Sojourn of Self and Art
Are you a serious artist who has struggled with finding your authentic voice and letting it come through in your painting?
Are you tired of arbitrary rules and the oppression of color wheels?
Do you want to finally paint for yourself with the kind of joy and confidence you've seen in other artists?
If you nodded your head to any of those questions, then it's time to go deeper into the reasons you make art and stop painting for the approval of others. With this course you'll learn to vandalize your work until it truly belongs to you and allow yourself an expression that comes from the heart and soul of your true self.
Who is this course for?
This course is for serious artists who are ready to develop a deeper relationship with themselves and their abstract painting through fearless exploration and unabashed vulnerability. If you're committed to finding your authentic individual expression, this is the course for you.
But be prepared. This isn't your average online abstract painting class. We're not going to go over the basics for beginners or beat the dead horses of technique. We’re going to dive deep into what it is we're looking to get out of our art and the reasons we’ve made the choice to be artists in the first place.
Pursuing abstract painting isn't always easy. Anyone who tells you it should be all fun and perfect fluffy joy all the time is definitely selling a bill of goods. Sometimes it's downright frustrating and it’s definitely work. But it should still be fulfilling to come out of the challenges with lessons well learned.
course goals
The main goal of this course is first and foremost to empower your thinking and your art in order to manifest an expression that is only yours. Your colors. Your marks. Your unique ways of putting it all together in a way that no one else on Earth can. This is done through exploring the struggles and successes of your abstract predecessors. Hopefully, you’ll possess an inspirational foundation in abstract art history to launch from when the final lesson is complete. Artists you’ll get to know include Cy Twombly, Joan Mitchell, Lee Krasner, Hilma Af Klint, Yves Klein, Grace Hartigan, and the De Koonings.

MINIMAL MATERIALS
You won’t have to spend a ton of money to buy the materials you need to complete the exercises and activities in this course. In fact, you’re going to make a lot of your materials yourself. Making art is not an exclusive activity that only money can buy. It’s a fundamentally human practice that can be accessible to everyone with the motivation and time to commit.
HEAVY ON CONTENT, NOT ON PRICE
The Vandal’s Voyage Online Abstract Painting Course is super reasonably priced. Odds are you’ve seen people charging hundreds of dollars (sometimes thousands) for courses like this one. An investment similar to no more than a few weeks of coffee shop lattes, two weeks of fast food lunches, or some good bottles of wine is all this course will run you.
Please don’t click that button bellow if going without fancy coffee and burgers for a while or drinking cheap wine isn’t worth it to you. I really can’t stress that enough. You have to be true to you. That’s how great artists come into their own and great art is made. It would go against the message behind the course to tell you otherwise.
If however, you’re ready to dive in deep and do the work of making art, we can’t wait to meet you.
