This beginner course offers the basics of working with acrylic paints and the techniques needed to create finished artwork. Different acrylic mediums and styles will be introduced and students will have the opportunity to paint various subjects which will incorporate the techniques learned.

We will paint on gessoed watercolor paper, acrylic paper and canvas surfaces.

We will also work in sketchbooks for note-taking, practicing techniques, and journaling.

After this course, students should feel comfortable with some basic techniques of acrylic painting to be able to work on their own and transition into more advanced lessons and techniques.

A $39 materials fee will be collected by the instructor in the first session.  Includes all supplies except what to bring listed below.
