Wild Horizons : Abstract Your Landscape

Calling all painters, dabblers, and creative rebels—let's push boundaries and break some rules! In this art class, you'll learn to transform a landscape photo of your choice into a bold, abstract expression. We'll explore how to distill shape, light, and energy into powerful marks on the canvas.

Some painting experience is helpful, but it's your curiosity that's most essential.

Supplies are included—just bring your landscape photo, a smock, gloves, and your fearless creative spirit!
