Introduction to Acrylic Painting

This six-week course is designed for anyone who’s curious about painting — whether you’re brand new or looking to reconnect with the basics in a deeper way. We’ll work primarily with acrylic paint because it’s versatile, forgiving, and perfect for exploration.

We’ll focus on three core building blocks of painting: composition, color, and value. Each of these will be explored over multiple sessions so you have time to experiment, ask questions, and really understand how each element works — not just in theory, but in your own hands. My goal is to create a class environment that’s relaxed, supportive, and inspiring… a place to learn, try, and enjoy the process.
