"Awakened," a Personal Perspective of Abstraction in Oil

Saturdays, July 15 - August 5 (4 Weeks), 9:30AM- Noon [Patty Bryant]
For the beginning and intermediate painter, focus will be on exploring and embracing the student's personal perspective of abstraction and their individual experience of painting in oil. Combined application of theories and techniques from different genres will be used to help the student begin to or further develop their own unique style. Specific strategies designed to stimulate creativity, build confidence, and work through challenges that are inherent to the medium will be incorporated throughout the class. Each student will work to develop 1 or 2 square canvases, with recommended size options, minimum 18 x 18, 20 x 20, maximum 24 x 24.
