🖌Join us June 20th and 21st for a 2-Day Acrylic Exploration Workshop with Laura Miller! 🎨
Have you ever stared at a blank canvas, wondering how to get started? Fret no more! In this class, you’ll learn the properties of acrylics and the tools and surfaces involved, and you’ll be introduced to recommended steps to take before starting a painting. We'll engage in some fun warm-up studies to experience the properties of the medium before committing to our composition. Value, color, textures, composition and brushes will be explored, but the main goal will be to have fun with the medium!
