This class will explore abstract painting concepts for artists of all levels. Come experiment and expand your visual boundaries! Explore the visual language of painting in a non-objective, non-figurative fashion and interpret what you see or feel around you as a reflection of your feelings and mood using acrylics. You’ll learn new ways to view and interpret the world and discover how to make compositional choices through line, form, shape, color, texture, and more. Try new and exciting products to build up texture, work colors together, and use a variety of alternative mediums to build up a surface, impasto, texture, gloss, matte, embedding objects into paints. You will be guided through a series of exercises designed to master these important abstract painting concepts and techniques to make great abstract paintings. A materials list can be found here.
