Shimmering Abstract Paintings
INSTRUCTOR: Laura Watts In this fun filled painting class, we will explore three fabulous mixed-media techniques in creating abstract art that shimmers and shines! Adding areas of metallic interest can be easy way to add that enchanting “wow” factor that suggests something is a bit extra special. This course will add great ideas to your creative tool-box so you can experiment with each and see for yourself which work best for you and your particular artistic style. All skill levels. All supplies are included.
