Art Basics Class Series (please note the multiple class dates)

Join us for three evenings of art making using acrylics while learning: color mixing, composition, and blending, brushstrokes and tools. Each evening will combine technique and application while exploring art practice and offering live instruction to answer your questions.

We will work to complete an exercise and a complete painting:

  • *If you missed this workshop, a recording is available: Color Mixing: June 19th: color theory and a peach still life painting

  • Composition: July 17th: how to create an aesthetically pleasing piece and a landscape painting

  • Blending, Brushstroke and Tools: August 21: understanding gradients and building texture. Painting TBD.

  • 9x12” heavy weight paper, canvas, or cardboard (pre-painted white)

  • acrylic paint (primaries+black and white plus any colors you have)

  • assorted brushes (1/2” flat brush, size 8 round brush, liner/small detail brush)

  • palette (paper plates work!)

  • jar for wash water and towel or sponge to dry brushes
