Drawing skills are not necessary for the successful abstract artist. The abstract painter can still focus on depth and shading but the important aspects are placement of colors, shapes and texture. Michael will lead you through some fun exercises to explore the world of abstract painting. You may be the next Jackson Pollock or Georgia O’Keeffe.
