Introduction to Acrylics
July 26 @ 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm
This 6-week class meets on Sundays: July 26, August 2, 9, 16, 23, and 30.
Dive into the vibrant world of acrylic painting! In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of working with acrylic paints — from brush techniques and color mixing to building layers and creating texture.
Acrylics are the perfect medium for new artists: they dry quickly, clean up with water, and are incredibly forgiving, making them ideal for experimenting and finding your style. Whether you’ve never picked up a brush or just want to build your foundation, this class will leave you with a finished piece and the confidence to keep creating.
This class is open to all skill levels, we will ship the required materials to you.
