Beginner & Intermediate Artists
Experience joy in abstract acrylic painting by placing emphasis on form, colour and gestural expression rather than trying to represent recognizable objects. This workshop will have students considering how colour evokes a certain mood within a composition, while discussing ways to work with thematic elements, abstract shapes and negative space.
Whether you’re an experienced painter or new to the medium of acrylic, let Alrene help you loosen up and have some fun!
