Learn the most important factors for creating a successful painting. Experience the process of putting those factors to work. Let yourself be creative. We will examine the necessary elements of abstract landscape design and translate that to a beautiful painting. We will create striking images of real or imagined places. David will demonstrate his process and guide you as you create artwork with renewed vision. Demonstrations will be in oil but students can paint in oil or acrylic.
