This beginner-friendly workshop series introduces the materials and foundational skills needed to get started with acrylic painting. Each class will start with a short warm up exercise involving a technique such as brushwork or color mixing, and time to practice that skill on a painting you will bring home.
Participants are welcome to sign up for a single session or attend all three. No prior experience is necessary. Acrylic painting is a fun, versatile medium. This relaxed, supportive class is designed to help you explore, experiment, and enjoy a creative evening.
