Experienced artists will paint abstractly using thickness of paint and other materials to build depth and design. Expand your creativity and skill set as you explore new techniques to paint unique and vibrant pieces. For this class, we will be working toward a triptych (a painting on three panels) through layering colors, shapes and various techniques, like dripping, blowing, and scraping. Wear comfortable shoes, clothing, and an apron and be prepared to get messy!
