WHY PAINT A SERIES?
Adult Class | This program is completed
Painting in a series helps develop a cohesive group of work. Building a series is a commitment to a theme, subject matter or color palette. It's a great way to grow as an artist. This class is a (3) 4-hour session. Each week the instructor will demo a technique to consider for your series. Instructor will be using acrylics and abstract painting as a starting point. Your series can be anything you like.
This is a guided studio course with minimal lectures. This will allow plenty of time for painting and discussion. Intermediate level-some experience using paint. Supply list will be provided prior to class. Class is located on second floor.
