About the Class
Journey into the creative and expressive sides of acrylic painting and mixed media* with a contemporary approach and find your own creative voice. All styles and genres are welcomed and encouraged while the emphasis will be on personal expression and locating your inner artist. This course is open to students of all levels with individual attention given to each student. Join us in a workshop-style painting class with as little or as much guided instruction as each student desires.
*Alternative painting mediums include watercolor, gouache, and pastel.
