Creating Abstract Landscapes With Gelli Printing & Collage
Abstract landscapes are a beautiful way to explore colour, texture, and composition without the pressure of creating a realistic scene.
In this Foundation Class, you'll learn how to create expressive landscape-inspired gel prints before transforming them into a finished mixed media collage artwork. I'll guide you through each stage of the process, from creating your prints to designing and assembling a beautiful abstract landscape.
Whether you're new to gel printing or looking for fresh inspiration, this class will give you techniques that can be adapted to countless future paintings.

What Will You Learn?
Studio Reflection
Sometimes the simplest shapes tell the biggest stories.
A landscape doesn't have to be realistic to evoke a feeling. Trust your intuition, simplify what you see, and allow colour, texture, and composition to create a place that exists only in your imagination.
This Foundation Class is perfect for anyone who enjoys landscape-inspired artwork and wants to explore a more expressive, abstract approach.
Whether you're new to gel printing or already creating mixed media artwork, I'll guide you step by step through each stage of the process with clear demonstrations and practical techniques.
By the end of the class, you'll have the confidence to create your own abstract landscape compositions and discover how simple shapes, colour, and texture can create artwork full of atmosphere and emotion.
Above all, I hope you'll discover that beautiful landscapes aren't about painting every detail—they're about capturing a feeling.
