Description
In this exciting new class Jacquie will provide the inspiration and techniques to help you explore colour, play with mark making, and understand abstract composition. We will use different sources of inspiration for abstracts, with a focus on acrylic paints and some mixed media including paper and drawing tools. New techniques or inspiration are introduced weekly for the first part of the class, followed by ample painting time. This is an opportunity for Jacquie to focus individually. Beginning artists may choose to follow exactly, while more advanced artists are encouraged experiment while they follow their own path. Jacquie has a coaching style of teaching.
This class is suitable for all levels. Beginners welcome
