Intro to Acrylic Painting - November 2026

In this six-hour couse over two weeks (November 12 & 19, 5:30-8:30 pm), you will learn the fundamentals of working with acrylic paint by exploring the classical technique of still life painting as well as working from a reference image. We will cover color theory, perspective, and composition while working from in-studio still life sets and source photos. Acrylic paint is a great medium for those who are just starting their journey and for those who are looking to further develop their own style of painting.

This class is for adults, as well as children 12 and older.
