An exploratory abstract painting experience for artists of all levels to discover and enhance basic techniques of non-objective mark-making media and acrylic painting through an innovative approach to color and composition.

Testimonials

“If you are looking for an adventure in color, freedom of expression that ends in the best art journey ever, take a workshop with Vickie! My painting had hit a real low and Vickie’s advice and generous spirit was all I needed to get me on track. Complete lessons, handouts, and individual advice had everyone doing their best work!”

– Trish B.

“The classes I’ve taken from Vickie have been wonderful. Sheis very organized and has really done her homework to provide the best experience for the artists. She provides a binder with different techniques, color, design principles etc. She is attentive to her students and is always helpful responding to their questions. I love her workshops!”

– Peggy V.

“I have taken several classes and workshops from Vickie.  She always has new ideas and techniques to share, and so much positive energy.  Most of all, she inspires confidence and love of painting.”

– Nancy V.

“My art has elevated exponentially since I’ve started taking classes with Vickie. I’ve taken multiple classes and plan to take more. Vickie meets you where you are all while providing you with a wealth of knowledge. Vickie is very generous in sharing her secrets to success!”

– Heidi G.

“I have taken two online courses from Vickie. She helped me with color mixing and composition. Vickie was a tremendous help to me psychologically to not be so afraid to follow my own path in the abstract world.”

– Peggy C.

“Vickie Marsango is a contemporary artist, educator and teacher with superior  knowledge of the Abstract.  In her classes she explains the basics of Abstraction, its glory working on large canvases, and sound principles of the use of color.  She enjoys taking her students on gallery walks to discuss art.  That is invaluable.”

“An artist friend I met at my first in-person abstract workshop recommended I check out an instructor who does online teaching of abstract painting. The instructor was Vickie Marsango. I signed up for the series and found that I love her teaching style. I learned a lot from her demos and handouts. I have subsequently gone on to take her in-person workshops and have continued to learn from her. She is a natural at teaching; she makes her students all feel very comfortable in learning new techniques; she shares her knowledge and skills with no hesitation; and is very pleasant to be around. I am so
happy I followed my friend’s advice. I now take workshops from Vickie every chance I get and my work is improving. I highly recommend her as a fabulous abstract art instructor.”
