Abstract Painting Workshop: Ground & Flow
March 24, 2026
6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Bivouac Ciderworks Adventure Lodge

San Diego, CA 92014
Join multidisciplinary artist Maha Bazzari for a guided abstract painting workshop inspired by the themes of grounding, movement, and transformation explored in the exhibition Un/Grounded. This hands-on session invites participants to explore intuitive mark-making, layering, and texture as a way to connect to emotion, memory, and presence.
No painting experience is necessary. This workshop is open to all levels and invites curiosity, experimentation, and personal expression.
The session will begin with a short guided warm-up inspired by my architectural and atmospheric painting style. Participants will create a one-color ground and a vertical passage shape to open the composition and set an intuitive starting point.
Participants will create and take home one 11 x 14 inch canvas. All paints, tools, and shared materials will be provided for use during the workshop.
What to expect
- Guided warm-up and intuitive painting exercises
- Introduction to layering, texture, and abstraction
- Personal exploration with gentle guidance
- Time for reflection and optional group sharing
Canvas included. All other materials provided for use during the workshop.
