Just like drawing, I hear from students a lot – especially grown ups – that abstract art is hard and they can’t do it! Just like drawing, it does not have to be hard, and ANYONE can do it!

When making abstract art (and any art really), it is often the process of the making that is much more important for the artist, than the final product!
