In this expressive painting class, we’ll explore how to create a soft, abstract background with wispy, flowing color using acrylics. You’ll learn how to build layers, blend tones for movement, and create an ethereal base that makes your subject stand out. From there, we’ll paint a stylized cactus topped with a bright, blooming flower — a balance of structure and freedom that captures the beauty of the desert in an imaginative way. No prior experience needed.
