Creative Aging Studio Course: Beginner Acrylic

Join teaching artist Tammy Groves for this 4-week introduction to painting with acrylics. Explore the fundamentals of using acrylic paint to produce various styles. Students will experience multiple techniques (i.e., color mixing, blending, layering, and brush techniques) & procedures for getting started, painting, and cleaning up. Students will become familiar with the materials and experiment with the flexibility of acrylic paint - exploring traditional paintings as well as expressive arts and abstracts.
