Acrylic painting can provide a lifetime of enjoyment. Learn how to express yourself using the vibrant colors of this delightful paint. You will be surprised how quickly your skills will improve by observing the instructor and painting along, during step-by-step class presentations. This class format will make it easy to get started and build upon what you learn, gaining new techniques and putting them directly into practice, soon becoming second nature. Enjoy the satisfying ability to represent the world around you in liquid colors, as you create unique works of art. This course is intended for students at the beginning-to-intermediate level, as it will cover the basics of painting with acrylics. Some background or education in drawing, while not required, is strongly recommended, since this class will focus on observational painting.

What do you say when someone asks “What kind of artist are you?” Do you have a great answer? Every artist has a story. Your story is unique and authentic and always evolving. In this workshop we’ll discuss our own Artist Stories as a group. Working together as fellow artists, providing fresh perspectives and tools for clearly describing who we are and what kind of work we create. At the very least we’ll all have a better response to that question and be ready to share it with anyone who asks!
