*Spontaneous Realism is a contemporary abstract style of acrylic painting with palette knives on canvas. Bright vivid colors and expressive marks define this style of painting. The idea is to get the student artists to cut loose and get them to paint expressively, but with intent.

Supplies provided: Canvas, brushes, palette knives, and acrylic paint plus water cups and spray bottles. Sourced reference image will also be provided to each student to work from.
