Subject this week:  #8 Abstraction: A Fun Self Portrait
A way not to take ourselves too seriously is to do a fun self portrait.  We will look at a number of different artists (Modigliani, Picasso etc.) for inspiration to come up with a totally unique and abstract portrait of our self or someone else.  This one is going to be a lot of fun.  Come ready to paint!  Extra supplies: A sheet of watercolour paper and masking tape

Here is the basic format for this live zoom class:  There will be a lesson for approximately 1  to 1.5 hour, then participants can either stay and chat with other artists while they paint or sign off and paint privately.  This is subject to change with whatever works the best.  Personal instruction and feedback will either be in person on-line during the rest of the class or by email.

Note:  Please have patience as we all negotiate this new way of doing things.  The technology isn’t perfect and neither are people.

Subject this week:  #6 Abstraction: Going Big
For this class we’re going to take a lot of the concepts we’ve covered over the past few weeks and we’re going to scale them up and apply them to a big canvas.  Scaling up often involves changing your tools and the way you apply your materials to canvas.  Plan to be loose and use a big brush.  Join us for this fun class! Extra Supplies – large brushes (1.5″,2″,3″), a canvas at least 18×24
