    This class is a chance to take what you know about painting, expand on it, and open new doors in your work. Rather than focusing on getting things “right,” we’ll explore how realism can be loosened, transformed, and used as a starting point for creating something unique, personal, and unexpected. Learn how to communicate your ideas through abstraction, build a painting, know when to push it further, and recognize when it’s finished. The goal is to create a refreshing space to experiment, trust your instincts, and develop a style that feels like your own.
