This beginner-friendly workshop series introduces the materials and foundational skills needed to get started with acrylic painting, a fun and versatile medium. Each class will start with a short exercise focused on a technique such as brushwork or color mixing, and time to practice that skill on a painting you will take home.
You’ll receive guided instruction and feedback while exploring, experimenting, and enjoying a relaxed evening.
Participants are welcome to sign up for a single session or attend all three. No prior experience necessary.
All materials provided. Participants are welcome to bring their own materials, too.
Three Sessions: October 1, 8, 15
