BEYOND THE BRUSH ACRYLICS

Each class session will be a unique set of experimenting in paint application using alternate ways to apply paint and make marks on and into the painted surface.  We will be exploring in depth each student’s unique visual voice.  We will be looking for the heart of why we paint, why we are attracted to certain colors, and combinations of color, why we like certain shapes and lines. Although we will be working abstractly in these classes, the information learned will be useful in all styles of painting.  It will even help students define their unique style.
