Program Description

An exciting lesson exploring the power of color in abstract painting. Find inspiration in the shapes and hues of life or from images and use the familiar as a jumping off pointalism to abstraction. Paint to music and respond to the beats with color. Artists of all skill levels can find success in abstract watercolors by using color theory to express the intangible qualities of emotion and mood, while experimenting with different paint application techniques.
