Gary’s new abstract watercolor 3 day workshop will be filled with material and tips for new and
old artists wanting to have some capability to paint in an abstract manner. It will cover mostly representational abstract, in other words, things you can recognize in the real world, but may also cover intuitive abstract during one of the days.

If you have trouble signing up, contact Gary at 479-249-5405 and he will assist you..
