Contemporary Abstract Art with Michelle Hoogveld - 8 Week Course
This is a playful abstract class with an emphasis on the creative process and experimentation. Students will progressively learn various techniques of contemporary abstract painting using layering, removal, staining, collage, mixed media, photo transfers and much more. You will learn how to achieve contrast, line, depth, texture & interest in your works of art. Students will be using liquid and heavy body acrylics, as well as acrylic mediums & gels, inks, found objects and collage elements.
