April 1-5, 2025 • $2850

Whether you live in Europe or are dying to visit, I hope you'll join me in a very unique space in Amsterdam to explore techniques that will inspire your abstract painting.  So grab your calendars and pen in April 1-5, 2025, for a fabulous few days of fun, creativity and community. 

My style of teaching is approachable, inclusive and very hands on. The experience is immersive and you’ll have access to me the entire time to get feedback, guidance, instruction and a lot of fun. 

And we'll save some time each day to explore the many wonders of this incredible city.

Who is this for?

You! All levels are welcome and you don’t need to be in the Art with Adele Academy.

When is it?

April 1-5, 2025. We'll be painting from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. The rest of the time will be spent exploring Amsterdam. 

Where is it?

We found a fabulous spot - a renovated school building located in Amsterdam West called The MidWest.

What's the cost?

$2850 per person, paid in full.

We’ll be focusing on the following:

● Composition: You’ll learn how to arrange elements within your artwork, which will create a sense of balance and guide the viewer's eye.  

● Saying goodbye to "rules" and hello to "wow"! Discover the beauty of letting go in this exploration of creative flow.

● Unlocking the secrets of effortless artistry. We'll explore practical exercises and mindset shifts that cultivate creative flow, enabling you to approach your art with ease and confidence.

● Guiding the Eye: You'll learn to create a smooth visual flow through your artwork, directing the viewer's gaze to key elements. 

● Overcoming perfectionism: We’ll embrace experimentation and learning from "mistakes" as stepping stones to growth. 

What We'll be Doing

If people stay in the same hotel or close to each other, it’s fun and easier to coordinate dinners and evenings together. However, Amsterdam is a huge city and there are hundreds of options.

Here are three hotels near where we'll be painting:

         Maison Elle Amsterdam - $$$

         Hotel Larende - $$
