EXPLORING ACRYLICS

Guest artist, Charlie Berger
Abstract Painting with Liquid Acrylics
Ages 15 and older, Thursdays, 6:30 - 8:30 p.m.
$85 for non-members per 6-week session
$76.50 for members per 6-week session
The invention of acrylic paint has opened the door to a much wider range of painting possibilities for both professional and amateur artists. Liquid acrylic is the most recent creation, and the visual effects and color combinations you can achieve with it are endless.
In this class, we will explore the possibilities for personal expression in the use of this fast-drying paint, and we will experiment with a range of acrylic mixing mediums to get an even greater variety of textures and surfaces. We will anchor our experiments in the study of color and color mixing in order to produce personally expressive works, and you'll then be able to use the knowledge in any painting medium you choose.
Join the fun and welcome Springtime by creating your own colorfully expressive paintings!
Minimum: 5 students Maximum: 8 students
