Acrylic Painting

In this beginner level class we will examine the works Lee Krasner. Krasner is identified as an abstract expressionist due to her abstract, gestural, and expressive works. She worked in painting, collage painting, charcoal drawing, and occasionally mosaics. She would often cut apart her own drawings and paintings to create her collage paintings. She also commonly revised or completely destroyed an entire series of works due to her critical nature. As a result, her surviving body of work is relatively small. In this class we will go through the basics of working with acrylic paint, color mixing and theory, and learn to paint in a loose spontaneous style and for breaking out of stylistic constraints.
