Description
Have you ever wondered, how in the world artists come up with successful abstract paintings? When Claudine started painting abstract, she sure did. She found good instruction online that helped her out and she would like to bring some of that knowledge to you. You will learn about and practice the 12 different abstract compositions using a limited palette of paint that you choose: four colors plus black and white. Grid Journaling is a way for you to practice so many different things such as color studies, composition studies and to find out what marks you like to use best. Claudine has used her Grid Journals to help her abstract commission clients tell her what they like so that when she starts on their project, she has those elements in her head and can make something her collector truly loves. Grid Journaling is a valuable practice for all artists!
