Acrylic Painting 1S22
Join in for this 3-session class designed for painters of all levels of experience.
Learners will begin with observation and explore composition, color, and value using still life as a subject. Those with an established painting practice will find ways to infuse your process with new vigor and test the boundaries of your comfort zone. Work on artistic subjects selected by the instructor or continue a work-in-progress with guidance and feedback.
Enjoy a relaxed and supportive atmosphere in which to grow your creativity.
Limit 10 students
I have been painting on my own at home for the past year and was hoping to hone my skills or learn something new. I enjoyed the other people in the class and I appreciated that the classes were 3 hours long!
