Wednesdays from 6:00pm-8:00pm
Fall Session II: 4 weeks - 11/18, 12/2, 12/9, 12/16 (no class 11/25)
Learn how to paint with acrylic! Beginners will learn the basics: how an artist sees, tools, materials, paint application, color mixing, composition, and painting techniques. Intermediate students will learn more about brushwork and color theory to improve their paintings with targeted skills and techniques. Learn to recognize and recreate value shifts to depict light and form, create a sense of space and dimension with cast shadows and highlights, and add depth and luminous warmth with acrylic washes and glazes. We will paint still life while having fun in a relaxed atmosphere. Supply list with links to products is located on the website. If you’ve taken a session with Donna before, the projects will be different. It is recommended that you take 2-3 sessions of the Beginning class before moving to Intermediate.
