Started an Abstract Painting class a couple of weeks ago at the Pacific Art League. First class was about value--we did a couple of small black and white studies, just to experiment with brush sizes and trying different strokes.
Second week, we started using color, and Shilo (our teacher) told us that "it's all about layers." Start with 10% paint and 90% water (we're using acrylic in class) and build up from there, leaving traces of underpainting. So these are the 2 paintings I started in class (above).
