1:00 p.m.- 3:00 p.m.

Instructor: Kris Finn

This beginning acrylic painting class requires no previous experience and features both printmaking with acrylic paint and beginning brush techniques. Students will create large-scale hearts with an abstract drip style background and floral overpainting. Admission to Leu Gardens is included so you can take your giant valentine into the garden for a photo session! Students will also have the opportunity to create smaller works along with the main piece as they practice.

This course will be taught on The Art Bus FL, a mobile art studio housed in a bus which will be parked on the grounds of the Garden.

All supplies are included in your session fee. Please bring a water bottle and wear art friendly clothes. Aprons and masks will be provided free of charge.
