Course Description
Don’t be afraid, this paint won’t bite. This course is perfect for people who have always wanted to get creative but even the idea of picking up a pencil or a brush scares them. The beginner acrylic class will start with an introduction on how to stretch your own canvas and will finish by sending you home with confidence and a painting that you won’t want to hide in the darkest corners of your crawl space. No more mixing paints and ending up with a muddy puddle of brown when you wanted purple or just painting your entire canvas black to cover up a “mess”. Artist Andrea Mueller will lead students in exercises that will free their creative process and will explore different paint applications including paint washes and the use of mixed media to develop a composition. This course will teach you the basics of colour theory and colour mixing. Topics include tints and shades, color as value and use of complimentary colours.
Please pack a lunch which you can eat by the lake.
