Ever feel like your abstract work is too tight? Never really tried abstract and don’t know      where to start? National award-winning abstractionist Bryan Jernigan will show you one helpful painting exercise that engages your fingers, wrist, elbow and shoulder to loosen you up and allow you to make bigger, bolder gestural marks in acrylic. The result allows you to see what your work could look like larger and looser. The exercise on paper takes between 30-45 minutes and doesn’t necessarily result in finished work (who can do that in 45 minutes?), but it can send you on a path that enhances your work for years to come. Jernigan even does this exercise when he’s not inspired to paint or when he’s trying unlikely color combinations to see if he can get them to work better together. Come, see his technique for using your whole body to create more expressive abstracts!
