(can range from 4-6 hours; 10-15 students)
This course is an introduction to creating an abstract painting from loose sketches in paint on watercolor paper and then mounting the paper on panel. Students will create a variety of sketches in paint derived or influenced by at least one object from nature. The sketches will be in acrylic on watercolor paper adding different techniques from pouring paint to making prints to including their own personal style. There will be an informal critique where the student will consider which sketch to finish and then mount with gel medium on a 12” x 12” wood panel creating a finished painting.
