Painting with Acrylics is a great start for beginners want to learn the basic principles of painting and the properties of acrylics. The class will cover building a painting from a primed canvas to a sketch to layering until the piece is complete. Color theory, line, and use of brush strokes will all be discussed. Students will create a portrait from a photograph they bring to class, so each painting will be unique to each artist.
