Have you ever wanted to learn how to paint, but didn’t know where to start? In this beginners painting class, students will learn the fundamentals of using acrylic paint. Color theory, color mixing, mediums, and composition development will be used to help create a still life painting.
Additionally, all great paintings began with an idea and sketch, thus, all students need to have a sketchbook at hand to jot down ideas and sketches. After this class you will have a different outlook in painting and the way you see art.
