Class Description:

Join us for a fun 4-hour oil painting class with teachers Lynn Stewart of Altoona and Keppy Arnoldsen of Huntingdon. We will create an abstract painting of your choice: either landscape, floral, portrait, or collage.

Abstract art is a style of art that doesn’t realistically depict people, objects, or scenes. Creating abstract images relies on visual images of color, shape, line, distortion, and form to communicate emotions, concepts, and ideas. In this workshop, we will take an ordinary image (realistic) and paint it as an abstract simplification or abstract feeling. The student will have the freedom to change the image in any way that they feel.

A canvas will be supplied and is included in the cost, as well as a small jar of Terpenoid to clean your brushes and a little bit of Liquin to hasten the drying of your applied paint. The student will need to bring oil paints (the three primary colors and white will work) and brushes. If you need help with the oil paints or other supplies, please contact Keppy Arnoldsen at (814) 777-6896. We are willing to share.
