This course will focus on the skills and materials you need to create great acrylic paintings. Beginners will focus on learning the basic elements that go into making a great piece of art, while more seasoned artists will learn how to level up their work. Students will create studies to hone their new skills, and by the end of the session will complete a painting that they can be proud of using their new “toolbox” of skills. Students are asked to bring a canvas for their final painting but all other supplies for this class will be provided.

 

Each week will have a new, and fun still life set up ready to work from. The teacher will be there to help guide the process, teaching students skills as they create. In this special Summer class the students have an opportunity to work using the chosen materials they bring to create unique, modern still lifes. Students will be guided by the teacher to work on mastering light, form and composition. They will get helpful feedback, and tips throughout classes to make their work stronger so they can bring home a piece they can be proud of. The class will also learn how to use an app on their phones to digitally alter their still life if they desire.
