Our Exploring Creativity program is diving right in with January’s class:
MIXING AND BLENDING WITH ACRYLICS
In this class, participants will learn basic acrylic techniques: Where to start, canvas preparation, types of brushes and how to use brushes, paint application and mixing, pressure used to apply paint, building depth in a composition, creating texture, softening or smoothing, light and shadow, finishing painting and sealing, allowing our creativity to flow, and critiquing work.
