Painting: Large Format Abstract Painting in Acrylics - GO BIG!
Instructor: Sheri Lee Robinson
Do you have the desire to explore what it’s like to paint larger format abstract work? You’d be surprised at what can happen when you allow yourself the freedom to roam around a good sized canvas! This course is designed to have you taking the steps towards the world of large canvases and to develop the confidence to approach a canvas of ANY SIZE. I know …it sounds scary but you can do it! Each week we will work on progressively larger pieces until you have completed a comprehensive and exciting new body of abstract art. Your vehicle may be the determining factor in how large you can go so keep that in mind. Our studios here can handle pretty big canvases if you can! The maximum size canvas for this class will be 48”x60” and the minimum 24”x36”. It is my goal to have you galloping out of your comfort one with glee as you get messy and have some real fun with this. Get ready… See you in the studio!
