Abstract Acrylic Workshopwith Cheryl Kelley
J u n e 29 / 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
This is a 3 hour workshop where we will learn the basic techniques of acrylic abstract painting. We will discuss composition, color theory, technique and texture. You will learn the rules of abstraction, which are akin to dancing freely within restraints. This course will expand creativity and give the student the knowledge to make beautiful finished art without the need for drawing or painting skills.
Every level is welcome. No painting skill is required for this workshop.
Cheryl’s teaching style is gentle and non intimidating. She seeks to build confidence in the inexperienced painter.
