Activity Name: 9-Week Acrylic Painting Workshop: Expanding the Basics 


Recommended Ages: Teen- Adult


Dates: Every Friday February 27-May 1 from 6-9pm (no class 4/10 due to Spring Break)


Activity Description: This 9-week course, appropriate for beginner and intermediate-level artists alike, will teach students about the importance of and how to incorporate composition, a fundamental element of art, into their paintings. Throughout this course, students will learn how to create unique pieces of art with amazing compositions using multiple photo references. 


Participants will also learn about value and contrast as they apply to composition. The instructor will teach the concept of balance in composition, plus the importance of the process of developing composition by designing and planning before beginning to paint. This course teaches the basics of acrylic painting and expands upon them by introducing new brushes and supplies in a way that is easy to understand. Each session is approximately 3 hours long. We highly recommend attending all classes in the workshop, as each class builds on the last. However, we allow drop-ins for individual sessions.

Sign up for the entire workshop by 2/13/26 to receive a $25 early bird discount. Use code EB25 at checkout. A deposit of $225 (50%) is required at the time of registration. The remaining balance is due at the first class. The drop-in fee per session is $50. Class fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. Students must register at least 24 hours in advance.
