Conjuring the Laguna through Abstraction – Acrylic Painting Techniques Workshop with Angela Zocco Sturr

Let go of the constraints of reality and enter the world of abstract art with current exhibiting Heron Hall artist Angela Zocco Sturr. Whether you are new to the freedom of abstraction or a longtime enthusiast, this workshop may spark a fresh approach to painting a landscape. Working indoors, using a variety of wooden shapes, we will draw an organic vista of interlocking shapes. Transparency, overlapping and textured brushwork using acrylic paint will be explored. A special emphasis will be on mixing and creating harmonious muted colors. This will be a relaxed and supportive approach, open to change and invention at every step of the process.

No previous art experience is necessary. A materials list will be provided upon registration.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED
