VOYAGE | ABSTRACT LANDSCAPES

Course Description

Voyage | Abstract Landscapes is a course about transforming your artistic approach to reflect how you see  beauty in the world around you.  It is about connecting with your heart, remembering experiences, and being open to the creative current that runs through you. 

The course will tap into your sense of wonder and creativity as you examine the places and experiences that mark your heart and find a new way to capture them onto the canvas.

You will learn that collaboration, experimentation, and connecting with your subject, is the guiding force behind creating in an abstract style. It is about taking the time to stand back and reflect on your work and focus on the process, not the outcome --  I believe it will transform your approach to painting.

This course will take you on a voyage of discovery as I lead you through my creative process of collecting inspiration and the steps I take to create a final painting on canvas.

Enjoy the first three lessons for free, and if you feel inspired, I invite you to sign up for the full course. I look forward to creating abstract landscapes with you.

love,

Renee

About Me Renee Mueller

Thank you for choosing to take my class, I'm so thrilled and honored that you're here. I want to tell you a little about me. I hold a BFA from the University of Michigan where I studied Art History, Dance, and Choreography. I danced professionally and had the honor of teaching dance at the University of Michigan's Musical Theater and Theater Departments. Most of my life has been spent in the dance studio and the theater. Because of this, I have had the privilege to work with many talented dancers, costume designers, set designers, lighting designers, and musicians. One of the many things that I learned from this experience in the performing arts was to honor your ideas and devote yourself to a subject. Also, to share, support, and collaborate. Once I decided to "exit stage left", it was challenging to find another creative outlet. Like many of us, I loved to draw, paint and create as a child, but never really invested a tremendous amount of time in cultivating that practice. About 10 years ago I began drawing again and decided to commit to a daily practice. I was challenged and inspired!. So, I continue to practice, experiment with materials, and allow my ideas to guide me through the process. When creating art, I draw upon the many methods I learned as a dancer, choreographer, and teacher. Research, gathering inspiration, honoring my point of view, and sharing ideas. It is my hope that by sharing my creative practices, my process, techniques and what inspires me, you will find something that works for you.
