Abstracting Landscape with Mixed w88 slot Painting with Melissa Melero-Moose, July 15-19
Engage with the ways landscape can be expressed through different colors, shapes, and textures. Building on these ideas, we will experiment with mixing and layering mediums, creating texture and introducing organic materials to create unique compositions. There will be discussion on the artist’s cultural connection to the land and how it informs w88 slot work as well as Indigenous art history of the Great Basin Native Artists. Open to all skill levels
