Acrylic and Mixed Media: Create Mini Abstract Paintings Using Your Initials

Have you always wanted to make abstract paintings but just don’t know how to start? Staring at a blank white page wondering what marks to make first? I know exactly how you feel which is why I started creating nearly all my paintings the same way and I would like to share my process with you. 

In this Skillshare class, we’ll create a collection  of mini abstracts using our initials as our starting point. 

I’ll show you which paper works well for this technique as well as how I set it up. I will show you how I like to mix my paint and what mixed media supplies I like to use for mark making. Then it’s your turn! Work along with me as we create a collection of mini abstracts. 

This class is great for artists of all levels! Whether you’ve new to acrylic paint or new to abstracts, you’ll love using these easy, modern techniques to create movement, depth and texture in your art.  Using acrylic paint is tons of fun. I know you’ll love it as much as I do.
