Step by Step with Shauna Krush

abstract_painting

Take a step out side the box and learn the fundamentals of creating a beautiful abstract painting in just one day. This workshop is designed for teens or adults who would like to either learn abstract painting or learn some basics that would allow you to incorperate abstract elements into your painting. Create an abstract forms using acrylic paint and the use of  funky gels and mediums. Basic drawing techniques focusing on the elements of line, shape, value, and space as well as a discussion on the principles of design will take you into the painting process. As you progress we will delve into colour theory to keep you on track. After all this fun you will walk away with your very own abstract painting.
