ABOUT AMY'S CLASS:
Your art could use more freedom.
Freedom to flow, build, and evolve as you create. Lay the foundation for this artistic freedom using abstract art basics from Amy Wynne.
By learning the liberating strategies behind abstract art, you will be inspired to explore beyond habitual image making and gain that extra boost to create in new ways. You’ll also build confidence in your artistic skills by removing the doubt and rules that keep you from freely and fearlessly expressing your true craft.
As makers, we need the freedom to not only be our unique selves, but to also to push ourselves to be the best we can be. Unlock your full artistic potential, imagination, and let the impressionistic inspiration flow – no matter what your preferred medium happens to be.
