EXPLORING ABSTRACT
In this class we will explore shapes, colors, contrast, mark making and layering using paint, graphite, pens and stencils. Abstract is the best way to get your creative juices flowing. Acrylic paint is not the only medium that can be used to create abstract art, but it is the most forgiving because it is quick drying. This pairs well with the intuitive flow inherent in creating abstract images in the moment without having to wait for layers to dry. All materials are included. Class is limited to 4 persons.
