ALL LEVELS – 1 DAY WORKSHOP – ACRYLIC

What makes a painting interesting? Elements that affect the viewer can be as simple as shapes, colors,

theme and or layers of interest. For without the first layer of a layer cake what does the baker build on? The

same applies to a painting. The underpainting is key to building a good painting. Whether a beginner or

experienced painter all are invited to participate in developing and enhancing your creative Abstract Toolbox.

We will explore all aspects of painting from monochromatic to fluorescent, from gesture to texture, from

negative space to paintings full of movement. We will experiment with mixed media compositions, various

gels and mediums. All tools to help you discover and or develop your individual style.

Requirements: An open mind!
