Learn how to create a captivating abstract composition with a focus on color and light! This class is designed for artists of all levels eager to explore different themes of abstraction, along with the techniques of adding light more effectively through careful distribution of color and values. Each week, we will start by examining some famous work by the masters, then, using acrylic paint as a medium, apply their techniques of bringing out light to your own abstract painting. With live demonstration, hands-on exercises, feedback, and encouragement by your peers, you will discover new possibilities and find the light along the way.
