AS THIS PLAYFUL PAINTING WORKSHOP comes to a close, I hope your mind is reeling with ideas for creating beautifully layered and textured abstracts. Venture in fearlessly! Try new materials, substrates and colors as you use these techniques in your work. I thank you for taking the time to immerse yourself in this workshop, and I look forward to our paths crossing down the road.
Before I leave you, though, I want to share some abstract art from some of my talented friends. I’ve had a few of these lovely souls in my classes; others I have met through art retreats or online. Many are also teachers who share my love of spreading creative inspiration to eager students around the world. I chose each of these artists because their work captures many of the aspects of color, pattern, texture, value and contrast that we’ve discussed throughout the book. Read on and enjoy the gallery of wonderful contributors.
