Event details

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.

This is a critique based class where the evaluation of your and your fellow students’ paintings form the basis for instruction.  Beginners are welcome and will be in a class with mixed skill levels.  If you have questions please call 239-939-2787 and ask for Brandi.
