This course is designed as a basic introduction to the versatile medium of acrylic paint.  Introducing students to the properties and characteristics of acrylic and how to develop proficiency in the various acrylic painting techniques such as layering, blending, and texture creation.  In each class we will complete a 9”x12” canvas,  exploring different subjects like landscape, still life and florals.  We will paint from life and from photographs.  There will be step-by-step instruction with each project along with individual guidance as well.
