Gary’s new abstract watercolor 3 day workshop will be filled with material and tips for new and old artists wanting to have some capability to paint in an abstract manner.

It will cover mostly representational abstract,, in other words, things you can recognize in the real world.  At least one new or two new subjects will be covered.
