Date: Saturday, Sunday, July 31, August 1, 2010

Time: 10am-4pm each day

Join Joe in this informative two day painting workshop intended to help the emerging artist “get over their fears”, of painting abstractly in acrylics on canvas. This class will focus on students wanting to paint larger and to incorporate “action” into their artwork. This workshop is for the emerging artist wanting to take their work further by using the 4 basic elements of abstract compositions in acrylics: line, shape, texture and color.

Former students are urged to attend to continue to develop their work in this 2 day painting free for all. Joe’s Black Bag exercise will be included.
