Abstract Explorations: Mixed Media Acrylic Workshop

"The possibilities of paint are never-ending."
-Frank Bowling
Experimenting is at the heart of creating and there are so many possibilities for a painting's becoming. You will be encouraged to follow your curiosity as you engage in a creative process that embraces spontaneity, chance and experimentation to create small abstract paintings using unconventional tools.
I will teach you basic composition, texture and color techniques that you will use to create expressive small abstract studies.
We will also spend time looking at the work of some of my favorite modern and contemporary artists; as well as their innovative techniques born from their own explorations.
Also you will receive an invitation to join a 1-hour Zoom Open Studios the week following the workshop to ask any
follow-up questions, share work progress and connect.
