Acrylic - All Levels
Thursdays: 9:00 - 11:00 am (ongoing)
Each class is designed with the beginner artist in mind and is a great skill builder for the intermediate or returning artist. Always wanted to paint and didn’t know where to start? Is color mixing frustrating you? Do you enjoy painting but feel that something is missing from your work? In these classes we will build on basic skills as well as finesse what you create all while keeping fun in the mix. Participants will provide their materials and art projects and will learn the techniques of making their acrylic paintings go from good to great! Classes are ongoing except for acknowledged holidays so join in at any time. Painters may work on their own projects with Christine's guidance where needed. From time to time we will choose a piece to work on together to develop techniques. No experience necessary.
