This workshop will focus on the more abstract using regular acrylic paints as well as liquid paints, ink flow, whatever you might have. A water spray bottle is a must! We will be using high gloss heavy acrylic medium for texture as well as anything you want to bring for texture....gauze, cheese cloth, tissue paper, an old magazine to tear for collage, etc. Purchase an acrylic medium for a "glue" to secure the texture papers. We will focus on a shape that is familiar to you, figurative, or architectural, or still life piece of fruit, or a simple landscape. All basic keys to a good painting apply. Let's have some fun delving deep to explore a little abstract expressionism!
