In this Acrylic Painting course, you will learn how to prep your canvas, and how to transfer your own reference from your own photos or the two free websites such as Pixabay or Unsplash. Once your drawing is on the canvas, the FUN begins with painting in acrylics. This course is in-depth and it’s also a FUN two hours of studio time with other acrylic lovers. This intermediate/advanced art class continues the exploration of acrylic media and techniques with a more in-depth study of acrylics, aesthetics, and medium. Students will have the ability to talk about their work and the work of others in classroom critiques that we do at the start of each class. Please note, this is not for beginners.

Do you have paintings languishing in a drawer because you are dissatisfied with them? Let’s fix those paintings! We will also cover composition, tips and tricks for correcting paintings, value issues and adjustments, and how to remove unwanted objects and cropping. Select one of your “failed” paintings and bring it to class for instructor and group review.  Suggestions will be made on necessary corrections and how to accomplish them. You can finish those corrections at home before the next class. In the second class we will review the reworked paintings and discuss additional tips.
