Introduction to Acrylic Painting for the Absolute Beginner
Lifelong Learning | FULL (Membership Required)
Introduction to Acrylic Painting is for those who would like to try the medium of acrylic painting. It is for the absolute beginner. There is no requirement for any background in drawing, though we will discuss how design, centering and perspective effects the painting. The focus of the five classes will be to introduce the student to color theory, supplies needed for acrylic painting, painting techniques and we will complete four or five small acrylic paintings.
Students will need to bring/purchase basic art tools, all of which can be obtained from a Dollar Store, Dollar General, an art and craft supply store or big box store. A supply list will be sent with confirmations.
