Acrylic Painting Workshop with Still Life 1W27
Age Group:
Adults
In this two-day workshop, students will create a finished painting working with still life. They will warm up by sketching their composition in both charcoal and color. Then, they will learn to use a layering approach to creating a painting using acrylic.
All levels of experience welcome! Beginners will learn about composition, color, and methods of working with acrylic paint. Experienced painters will be encouraged to explore beyond their comfort zone.
Please note this workshop does not have a make up date.
