Obsessed with Miro' (class on its way)

Keep a sharp eye out for a new Skillshare class coming very, very soon.  

 This Abstract Elements class on Joan Miro' will be in a shorter format (14 minutes) than my slightly longer Abstract Art with a Twist classes on Kandinsky and Mondrian (24 minutes).

The goal of this new series is to paint quickly and easily in a small format.  These exercises will help artists pinpoint big ideas and translate them into easy-to-digest paintings.

 Creating the class has made me paint mini Miro' pieces like crazy!









Details coming very soon!
