  • Class description: This class will create abstract images using liquid acrylic paint. We will use techniques which vary with the use of different colored paints that are thinned with a medium. These will be deposited by various methods onto a canvas. These processes create one of a kind artwork. There isn’t one right way to achieve this. All the techniques are the result of artists experimenting. We will endeavor to free our preconceived ideas and watch, listen and maybe talk to the paint as we help it become our inspiration.
