Workshop Description:
In this fun 2 day workshop, participants will learn how to build up layers to create an eye-pleasing abstract painting of birch trees. Everyone will produce their own unique painting to take home with them! Artist and painting instructor, Danielle Bartlette, will help you step by step throughout the day to ensure there is clarity in all the painting processes. Techniques learned will also benefit your future artworks!
Learn about negative/positive space and how to layer up paints for depth, build up texture, use mixed media including additional materials (gold leaf, glitter) effectively, and learn when to be spontaneous and/or have more structure.
HAVE FUN!
No refunds for missed class once registered but can gift your place to a friend or come to one of Danielle's regular classes to finish up.
