Abstract Landscapes with Chris Watts

In this 2 Day Weekend Workshop, you'll transform layers of mixed media and imagination into stunning ABSTRACT LANDSCAPES. In this immersive two-day workshop we'll move beyond observation and replication to experimenting freely with acrylics, watercolors, and more, while building compositions that feel alive. I bring my studio to you: an abundance of mark-making tools, unusual paper specimens, stamps, stencils, mediums, and boxes of curated collage papers for you to explore and use. We'll watch focused video tutorials allowing you more time to do one thing: make something extraordinary. You'll have personal time with me both days so you'!! never feel lost - and go home a more independent and empowered artist.

* Watercolors - Include either paynes gray or indigo, raw umber, sienna, either Indian yellow or ochre, black, white, and other colors you like.
