  • Aug 8, 2023

I spent a wonderful morning with the Oils & Acrylics painting group at Wallace House exploring 'Space' as our Element of Art and 'Focus' as our Principle of Design as we explored abstract art composition and design.

We explored positive and negative space and two different ways we can create focal points and areas of emphasis in our abstract art composition, with colour and contrast placement.


Check out our photo album from the morning - I think I may have a few collage converts on my hands!
