One on One In Person Abstract Training

Sometimes what an artist needs most is not another class — it is focused time, honest feedback, and someone experienced enough to help them see what their painting is asking for.  

My one-on-one studio hands on sessions are designed for artists who want personalized guidance to learn techniques to move their art journey further. Together, we can explore composition, color, focal point, glazing and veiling, mark-making, editing, working in a series, or simply figuring out why a painting feels stuck.  


NOTE: If you are a beginner abstract artist, we will work on a specific plan for you

These sessions are not about teaching you to paint like me.  They are about helping you uncover your own visual language and become more confident in the decisions you make on the canvas.  During your session, we may work on:

  • Techniques to loosen up
  • Finding or strengthening a focal point  
  • Simplifying a painting that feels too busy  
  • Glazing and veiling techniques  
  • Creating stronger color harmony  
  • Developing meaningful marks  
  • Knowing what to keep, what to cover, and what to leave alone  
  • Working through a painting that feels stuck  
  • Developing a cohesive series  
  • Finding greater confidence in your own artistic voice 
  • Beginners in Abstract Painting: How to start a Painting, how to loosen up

Private 2-Hour Studio Session  $175+* One-on-one instruction in my Knoxville studio OR
Half-Day Private Studio Intensive — $325* Four hours of personalized training, painting, critique, and development focused entirely on your work and artistic goals.
*There will be an extra fee for supplies.  Pricing will vary depending on what we decide to do!!

I am not here to tell you what mark to make. I am here to help you trust the mark that belongs to you.


Painting Reviews

 PRICING: 
One (1) Painting Reviewed: $29.00 
Two (2) Paintings Reviewed: $45.00 
Three (3) Paintings Reviewed: $75.00  

We all need at times a review of our paintings to help encourage, push through that "ugly stage", or just have that one extra opinion of where we are in our paintings!  In my "a la carte" reviewing your abstract painting, I will provide a thorough review of your painting looking for several things.    

I look at composition, examining the interplay of shapes, lines, and negative space might affect the visual balance and flow of the painting as a whole. I look at the values within the artwork (this is usually a huge issue). I'll closely analyze the design elements, the patterns, textures, and geometric forms to offer suggestions.  

I talk to the color you use in relation to the over all composition.   If needed, I will offer computer generated suggestions on how to move or change shapes to allow for a better flow for the eye through the painting.  I will change the values to show how just sometimes a slight (or a huge) change in value can make such a difference.)  I have been known to spend upwards to an hour on each painting to give you my fullest feedback.   I only can take on three extra artists for painting reviews at a time, so please reach out to me at cheryl@cherylwilsonart.com for my availability and how to pay!!
