8-week Art Clinic with J. Jordan Bruns
In this Art Clinic we’ll break down representational and abstract compositions and finds the common bonds between them. We’ll dissect old master paintings to see why their paintings are masterpieces while my “digitally edited forgeries” of those paintings fall flat.

Supply List
There is no set supply list for Abstract Representation Art Clinic. You’ll be asked to select an old master painting to reinvent, but you do not have to have this selected for the first class. This class does not teach a specific medium, so oil, watercolor, and acrylic paints are all welcome. If you need help selecting materials, please contact Jordan via email before your Art Clinic begins. All mediums are welcome.
