Held at MIAD 273 E. Erie Street, Milwaukee

Some of the brightest pigments can be found in the soft layering of chalk pastel. Combined with the rigidity and permanence of acrylics, this class explores the fundamentals of these media but also the ways to utilize texture, layering, and more. Working from both life and photo, students practice various ways to begin and execute a mixed media painting. Focusing on pastel and acrylic, the course also provides the opportunity to  incorporate additional elements such as pencil, ink, and collage.

Saturdays, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Oct. 17 – Nov. 21, 6 sessions

Held at Shake Rag Alley in Mineral

Sunday, October 11th 9am-4pm

An artist really learns to paint when given the freedom to let go of a subject and the expectations of a single painting. This class will help you do this through repetition and technique. Painting the same subject five times, you will learn experimentation and be challenged to find ways to rediscover the subject. The uses of acrylic paint will be covered as part of the journey. We will discuss topics such as color, value, style, method, history, and more!
