Class Description
Instructor: Katie Phillips
Fee: $95.00
Have you ever wanted to try painting as a hobby? Or maybe you’ve done the “wine and canvas” type classes before but want to dig in a little deeper? If so, then Acrylics Crash Course is just for you! This workshop is designed with the beginning painter in mind, teaching the “why” and “how” of this versatile painting medium. By the end of the course, you will have both the confidence and encouragement to try painting on your own and start building on what you’ve learned.
- We’ll start by learning about different painting materials and getting set-up
- Then, we’ll participate in a fun painting exercise to loosen up and get the creativity flowing (LUNCH BREAK – bring a sack lunch)
- From there, we’ll talk about basic color theory, how to choose colors and do color mixing exercises
- Finally, we’ll discuss composition, design elements and practice basic painting techniques with a still life painting
You will leave with two paintings; an abstract and a still life.
