Linking abstraction to reality can be simultaneously one of the most exhilarating, yet perplexing forms of expression. In this highly energetic online class, we will learn to abandon fears and truly embrace the experimentation of what water-based mediums can do. You will discover the joy in relinquishing control through guided drawing and painting exercises that transition through modes of inspiration and thought process.

1. Really explore alternative painting techniques
2. Get comfortable with working wet into wet
3. Take risks and experiment
4. Use composition and line to strengthen your drawings
