Abstract Painting Class 'Beyond Colour Fields'

Description

In this class, I encourage you to experiment and take your time preparing yourself and discovering what you like before beginning with your canvas. This is the ultimate way for me to get started with painting! I invite you to experiment with new printing techniques using items found in and around your home. Once you've decided on your composition, colours, and favourite printing items, you can begin working on your project. We use acrylic paint and embellish our artwork with stamps, carving, and stencilling.
