Abstract Art using acrylics (Drennan Wednesday Afternoons) S1

Join us for a 4-week acrylic abstract session and pursue a personal vision with no “mistakes.”  Playing with paint, learning new techniques and exploring new ways to express ideas while using basic principles of composition and color theory.  Discover your personal style using fundamentals of line, shape color, value and texture with an emphasis on experimenting, improvising, layering and creating focal points and dynamic color interaction.

To make abstract art, we will focus on emotions, shapes and colors rather than realistic subjects, using techniques like layering, splattering, dripping, or scraping paint with various tools (brushes, palette knives, hands) to create texture and movement, letting instinct guide you to build up layers until the composition feels balanced and complete.
