In this class, we are going to create some bold, dynamic contemporary abstracts. I want you to play with color and experiment with your marks. My goal was to create beautiful abstracts with minimal supplies, bold colors, dynamic movement, and rich shapes. I wanted to concentrate on not being too busy. Committing to a theme and creating a series.

We'll start out experimenting with some smaller pieces, and then use those to inspire some larger pieces. 

This class is for you if:

• You love learning new techniques for your art
• You are interested in bold contemporary abstracts
• You love watching how others approach their art practice
• You love experimenting with your art supplies

Supplies: 

I've kept the supplies pretty simple in this class. I encourage you to use what you have to get started!

• Watercolor paper - I'm using Canson XL Coldpress 140lb. You can experiment with your papers and try out any that you happen to have on hand for this class.
• Acrylic inks. I am using the FW Paynes Gray for my mark-making. You can experiment with a variety of things for mark-making for this class. I like the bold color and marks I get with the ink.
• Acrylic paint in your favorite colors. I show you a variety you might consider. 
• Catalyst Wedge or silicone brush. I wanted to try out doing some bold marks for color without using a regular paintbrush. You can use whatever feels good to you when you finish class and get to painting!
• Painters tape to tape down your paper
