Abstract Painting

Wednesdays, March 6 – April 10 | Room 303

Enjoy the fun of painting without limits! Even if you are a realist painter this class will open new avenues to enhance your style. All painting is decorative…the realist paints that they see; barns and cows, fields and streams while focusing on depth and shading. 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. Cost is $20 at sign up and you will need to pick up a supply list. Limit 12 people. Sign up now.
