Class Description: Should you make art? Of course, you should! Whether you’re just thinking about it or you’re on your art journey and could use some refreshers and a dose of motivation, this class is for you. Here you’ll visit the various approaches to tackling the challenges of art making regardless of medium. You’ll be coached on strategies to overcome the pitfalls and traps of creating art, including those you bring along for the ride. In the morning session, as we prep and develop a canvas background for your acrylic painting, the instructor will provide several words or phrases around which you can develop your art.
After lunch, you will create in free form an acrylic painting built around the word or phrase you selected. If you prefer to bring a photo or sketch of something you’d like to recreate, you can tailor your image to your interpretation of the word or phrase you selected. Art coaching throughout the class offers valuable best practices for mixing colors, working with values, contrast, and differences as you lay out your composition. You’ll receive tips and techniques for palette management, brush care, and organizational ideas for your studio.
