Community Education - Rochester, Minnesota

Abstract Painting/Mark-making for Continuing or New Attendees: In this class, you will paint your very own original series of 4 mini abstract paintings of imagined or remembered landscapes or botanical garden scenes on an 11x17” Bristol paper using acrylic paints, crayons and pencils. I will guide you on how to harmonize colors and use various mark-making and design techniques to kickstart your abstract art journey and develop your own creative voice. Continuing creatives will have the option to work and create just the single large painting on the 11 x14 art paper to hone their skills and enjoy working in a fun group setting. I will also introduce new element(s) and tool(s) for mark-making, to explore in each session so you can continue developing your personal style of creating. Repeat enrollments are encouraged to keep making your art in an inviting and friendly environment. A $10 cash only supply fee will be collected on each day for supplies made available by the instructor while attending or you may bring your own supplies. Supplies list as follows: White gesso, Bristol Art Paper smooth surface size 11x14” and your choice of red, yellow, blue, black and white acrylic paints and glazing liquid, and a selection of acrylic brushes and palette knives. Available at Michael’s, Hobby Lobby or through Amazon.
