Canvas Painting: Getting Abstract!
Saturdays, September 8, 15, 22, 29; 1–3 pm
Joslyn Members: $51; General Public: $60
Join us to look for artists in the gallery that rely on color, shape, and brushstrokes to make artworks that look like nothing you’ve seen before. We’ll borrow brushstrokes, drips, patterns, and painting techniques to create finished abstract compositions on a stretched canvas.
