Concept

Designed for beginners and advancing beginners, this two-day workshop explores the inherent expressive qualities of acrylic paint. Discover how to make dull, static photo references your own by using unexpected color and mark-making.

Experience

Working from your own photo references, begin with basic acrylic painting techniques and color mixing. Explore commonly used color palette combinations to understand color interaction and ways in which colors can enhance one another within a painting. With these fundamentals, dive into the world of expressive art making. Experimental methods encourage you to push the boundaries of the medium as you work on multiple paintings throughout the workshop. Leave this experience with techniques to help you loosen up, a toolkit to solve problems creatively, and a foundation for making visually stunning, bold paintings.
