About The Event
The class “A Starry Night; Painting Fireworks in the Night Sky” will guide you through the galaxies using abstract techniques to paint colorful fireworks surrounded by a sea of stars, using acrylic paints. Hood River artist Laurel Bushman will push your imagination and techniques using NASA approved deep space photography as inspiration into your own artistic space exploration. This exciting process will give you skills to apply to other abstract painting styles creating new orbits for your artistry. Regardless of your current level, Laurel’s enthusiastic teaching style will launch you into out-of-this-world creativity.
