Class Description:
Have you ever considered branching out and doing something different? Well, here’s your chance. Join renowned artist Sterling Edwards and delve into the world of acrylic abstract painting. This is Sterling’s favorite style of painting because it allows him to be totally creative. Contrary to popular belief, however; it’s not as easy as it sounds. Most of the time we, as artists, use some form of reference material when we paint. We are either in the field doing plein air painting or in a studio painting from a photograph. In other words, we are copying something that inspires us. Not so with abstract painting. Many refer to abstract painting as the purest form of artistic expression because we are actually creating as opposed to copying. Combine that with the fact that abstract art is fun and extremely popular these days and you’ve got a winning combination. Join Sterling as he shows and explains his process for creating thought provoking and eye catching acrylic abstracts.
In this workshop you’ll learn how to find exciting designs for an abstract painting. You will also learn a wide variety of styles of painting abstract that include the following:
