Absolute Abstracts in Acrylic:
Expressive or Geometric
w/Abby Ober
Saturday, August 23
10:00am - 3:30pm
 
Students will use a limited palette of their choosing to create contemporary abstracts based on an expressive or geometric approach. The works of notable various abstract painters will be shared and discussed to aid in discovering your own aesthetic in this intuitive approach to painting. This is a free and supportive way to step away from a representational style to a completely abstract style where color and composition rule.

A limited palette of Professional or Artist grade paints with at least three primaries, white and black
Golden Heavy Body or Liquitex for example.
A variety of oil or acrylic brushes from 2 " wide to 1/, flats and rounds
Palette knife and other tools if desired.
Paper towels, jar or container for medium
Palette pad of 12 x 16 or Masterson Palette (Sta-Wet palette is great for acrylic painters)
