Description
Two to three week projects explore colour, composition and techniques, focussing on using acrylic paints and mediums. Subjects may be landscape or abstract, to be determined in part by the students. The class format is open and encouraging, whether you are a beginner or more advanced. You are encouraged to bring your own ideas and inspiration to the projects, whether you prefer a more realistic or abstract approach. Demonstrations provide inspiration for the beginner and experienced painter, introducing techniques and use of materials. Experienced artists can use the demonstration for direction or bring and pursue their own work.
Open to all levels, some experience in acrylic painting is recommended.
