Abstracted Landscapes – Cold Wax & Mixed Media with Juliana Crownover – G26070311
Explore the landscape through abstraction and play! In this cold wax studio class at Ghost Ranch, we will work in small groups. We’ll focus on strong composition using a variety of mark making tools, cold wax, pan pastel, collage, powdered graphite, Venetian plaster, and stencils. Through guided exercises and demonstrations, you’ll discover new ways to loosen up, respond intuitively, and bring freshness to your art. This class is about curiosity, experimentation, and finding joy in the creative process. All levels are welcome.

She describes her art this way “I paint to capture moments and to share my joy.” In my classes I strive to create a balance that allows enough freedom so that students can create their own art, and enough direction to ensure success. Aside from the end-goal of finished art, I think the process should be enjoyed, and I work hard to create an environment that allows for that.” You may run into her on the hiking trail where you may find her with her husband and/or one of her 4 children.
