Abstract Paint Night with Pat Stark Feinstein

Thursday, December 2, 5:00pm - 7:30pm

$40.00 Non Members. $35.00 Members

Paint Night offers a lively introduction to the creation of your own abstract art. There is no right or wrong as your own individual, unique imagery emerges naturally out of the colors and forms that at first come as a surprise. One shape pushes at another; one color snuggles up to its neighbor while another color jabs back. The juggling dance of color-forms offers unexpected possibilities for discovery.

After covering a canvas with paint, we then stop, look and think about ways we might further each work. (Jackson Pollock called this his “getting acquainted period.”) Demonstrations will provide ideas and guidance. Acrylic paint, canvases, brushes, palette knives, palettes, easels and smocks will be provided. The class is open equally to experienced painters and to those who have never held a brush before.  This is all about fun! Each person will take away two or more paintings along with new ideas about the creative process and visual expression.

All attendees must wear masks and be vaccinated. Bring proof of Covid vaccination.

Cancellation policy: CCMoA must be notified 1 week prior for refund.
