Standing in front of a blank canvas and developing a concept for an abstract painting is very difficult for most seminar participants. It is the creation of the image, the composition, the colour concept, and the dynamic process of transforming it into an exciting painting that always causes difficulties. Gerhard Almbauer has years of experience in finding individual solutions for each seminar participant’s abstract painting. Starting from scratch really means experiencing and working through the entire process of abstract painting, from its art-historical origins to the finished work of art.
