Make & Take: Beginning Abstract Mark Making with Ebbie Navas

🎨 What exactly do artists mean by “mark making”?

It can be a line, scrape, dash, shape, pattern, scribble, texture, stamp, brushstroke, or unexpected little detail that adds movement and personality to a painting.

Join artist Ebbie Navas for a hands-on introduction to mark making for abstracts and landscapes.

Ebbie will bring a variety of mark-making tools and show you approachable techniques for creating texture, rhythm, contrast, movement, and visual interest without overthinking every stroke.

You’ll experiment, play, and discover ways to use marks more intentionally in your own artwork.

No abstract painting experience required.
