Want to enhance your creativity and develop your own personal style in acrylic Abstracts? This class will take you to the next level as we explore painting techniques, textures, color & movement on a full sheet of watercolor paper, divided into 4 sections. We will use the smaller paintings as inspiration to develop a new abstract painting or to incorporate the small paintings into one large abstract. This is a fun way to explore new ideas and let creativity flow more easily!
