Class Description
If you're new to acrylics, come join artist Rosalie McCarthy in this relaxed and non-intimidating atmosphere of creative fun! If you're familiar with the medium, join with other creative people, and perhaps learn some new techniques.
We will focus on creating movement, energy, and atmosphere in our paintings. There will be ongoing demonstrations, and individual attention and guidance in each class. You will become familiar with color mixing, glazing, brush loading, and how to manipulate the brush with fewer strokes to achieve the desired results. Helpful handouts will be provided and reviewed, detailing the various acrylic paints, brushes, and much more.
Bring a snack for our short break.
