EXPRESSIVE ABSTRACT FLOW

Abstract artwork encourages much discussion and curiosity about color, shape, line, and mood, which can be interpreted differently by everyone. This class is perfect for the creative day dreamer. We will study the principles of color and explore form, shape, space, and value. We will delve into pushing color to its ultimate visual strength to evoke atmosphere and mood. We will also play with a wide variety of brush techniques for textural features to give your work depth. We will mainly work with acrylic and aerosol paint to create fully realized finished paintings

WHERE ART MEETS NATURE

In this class, you will choose what kind of painting you would like to create (i.e. landscape, abstract, nature, urban, pet, floral, etc), and I'll guide you along your painting journey. We will primarily use oil and acrylic paint mediums, and you will also have the opportunity to try using oil pastels if you’re interested. ***Please note: your canvas will take a few days to fully dry. If participating in a month-long package plan, any unfinished works can be left in my studio during the duration of your course. For single class sign-ups, please manage your expectations and be mindful that we likely won’t be able to finish an entire oil painting in one session due to the slow drying process for oil paint. You may need more time and/or more than one class to complete your work.
