(“Modern Painting” just means non-traditional or representational)
If you are feeling “stuck” or uninspired,
this could be just what you need! .

 “This class is designed for the artist who is interested
in exploring ways to create more modern, bold, 
and expressive paintings
by taking a less representational approach. 
While retaining a bit of reality, we’ll explore ways to manipulate the abstract elements of line, shape, color and value to express an unexpected idea or statement.
Through a series of quick, fun exercises, we’ll learn how to
“change the rules” and let our intuition guide us.
We’ll be working from still life and/or photos.
All painting mediums are welcome.”
