Acrylic Painting Class - 6 Weeks with Lisa Long | August 22
Acrylic Painting Class 6-8:30pm
First Class is Thursday Aug 22 - September 26
Learn basic and not so basic techniques with the talented, patient and encouraging Lisa Long. Each class students learn varied brushstrokes as well as using different tools (such as sponges and random objects) to create textures & shapes. Each project will also implement reflections and shadows to create depth. Students work on canvas panels.
Week 1 ~ Paint a waterfall (maybe two!) using a clever whitewashing technique and random objects to create splashes and mist
Week 2 ~ Paint a sunset over water, a great freeing exercise in using lots & lots of color and dancing reflections!
Week 3 ~ Paint a field of flowers and an old wooden fence. This will be a beginners lesson in perspective and a little Pointillism - plus you get to paint a cool old fence!
Week 4 ~ Paint your pet OR an animal. A fun and challenging exercise in creating fur textures & colors, plus highlighting/shadowing techniques for a look of depth & realism.
Week 5 ~ Paint a barn: think faded and weather worn chipped paint! This is a great exercise in painting a structure using point perspective!
Week 6 ~ Bring back any of the past 5 weeks paintings for touch up and detail. A great lesson in fine tuning a project, so bring your questions! If you would prefer to start a new painting, feel free to bring in a subject you are interested in painting.
