Back by popular demand, Kevin’s signature Large Scale Abstract Acrylics workshop returns as an immersivetwo-day experience.

If you’ve ever wanted the time and freedom to create a truly dynamic large-scale painting, this workshop is for you. Over two afternoons, you’ll explore expressive abstract techniques while working on a 30” × 40” canvas—using oversized tools, bold mark-making, rich textures, and layered color to create a finished work you’ll be proud to take home.

Working with acrylic paint, texture paste, palette knives, scrapers, squeegees, wetting mediums, markers, and brushes, you’ll discover Kevin’s intuitive approach to balancing abstraction with recognizable elements inspired by nature. Bring a favorite landscape, floral, or nature photo as inspiration, or work from reference images provided in class.

Throughout the weekend, Kevin will guide you through:

• Building strong abstract compositions

• Creating expressive texture and movement

• Incorporating botanical, landscape, and natural forms

• Using markers and mixed-media techniques to add energy and depth

• Developing confidence in working at a larger scale

Whether you’re new to abstract painting or you’ve already taken Kevin’s one-day workshop, this extended format offers the extra time to experiment, refine your ideas, and push your creative process further. You’ll leave with new techniques, greater confidence, and a completed large-scale painting.

What’s Included:

• 30” × 40” canvas

• All paints, mediums, texture materials, and studio supplies

• Two afternoons of personalized instruction

• Finished artwork to take home

You’re welcome to bring your favorite markers (Posca, permanent markers, graffiti markers, etc.) if you’d like to incorporate them into your work.

This class is limited to 8 students with the intent of providing a lot of personal instruction. Cancellation and transfer policies can be found at the link in the navigation bar. Please call (828) 776 2716 or email gallery@310art.com for any questions concerning classes.
