Bobbie Britt led the way with the first class of the 2022 season on January 18th at the Guild House. The class explored different ways of making techniques, helping her student find what works for them as an artist. She demonstrated an abstract painting and how she herself gets started on a new abstract painting. Such wonderful paintings resulted! Thank you, Bobbie, and your wonderful students!
First let us think about what abstract painting is. I like this definition. Abstract art is a departure from reality. It releases the creative energy of people and provides them with their freedom to explore their minds and emotions in a way that was impossible in traditional styles of art.
In this class we will explore different ways of making techniques with an emphasis on finding what works for you as an artist. I will demonstrate an abstract painting and some ways I get started. We can discuss some of your favorite abstract painters. I hope to encourage you to try new things as a way to experience different ways to develop your own ways of applying paint and to compose the visual space.
Please call 910-816-7481 to register. No fee for class. This is a beginner’s class. Limit of 8 people.
Supplies will be furnished. You are welcome to bring something if you have a particular color or brush you would like to use or something unusual.
