ABSTRACT PAINTING
ABSTRACT PAINTING IN ACRYLIC 1:
COLOR & TEXTURE
INSTRUCTOR: ELISA HUGGINS
Welcome! WHY ABSTRACT? Painting abstractly encourages self-expression and stimulates experimentation, exploration, and discovery. This class will give your creative muse the courage to strike out on a path of individuality and originality--developing your own style.
But this is not just another abstract class. Even if your jam is painting realistic subjects, the lessons you learn and the exercises you do in this class will help enhance the rendering of your subject in a fresh way, producing a work of art that is courageous, innovative, and fun. Besides basic color theory and building your very own color palette, you will discover and apply some new elements of good design and composition.
Beginners are totally welcome. No drawing skills are necessary. There are no judgments or mistakes -- only wonderful discoveries. Previous students exclaimed how much fun they were having, how they felt creatively liberated, and how different this class was from others they had taken. So, what are you waiting for?

MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
I majored in arts and architecture a few decades ago, but needing to satisfy my curiosity in other fields of the arts, I returned to school and studied digital media and graphic design. I am forever an art student -- learning and improving on my skills.
I get an absolute thrill from the journey that produces a work of art, be it drawing, painting, paper crafting, pottery, digital illustrations, or photography. I love the benefits I get from exploring different media and processes in art-making, and then teaching others what I’ve learned. For me, art-making is good for brain health, emotional wellbeing, physical dexterity, and overall wellness.
