Abstract Landscape Painting (Ages 18+)

Learn to use landscapes or seascapes as the basis for an abstract painting.  Your paintings won’t be realistic but will still be identifiable, as opposed to typical abstract art where the subject matter is removed.  Free up your expression and sense of confining boundaries by focusing on color combinations and painting from the heart.
