Abstract painting

Abstract art is a style of painting which deals with colors,forms and textures. Students experiment with cool and warm hues and color mixing and layering, exploring textures and patterns by using different techniques and materials. Learn to interpret realistic scenes into forms, moods and colors. Abstract painting will help you gain more freedom and looseness with your brush strokes, and to become more effective and expressive.
