Here's a chance to work on some basics of color and paint mixing, observing still life, photographs, self-portraits, and one or two model sessions. We will do color exercises with a limited palette, simplify shapes and explore materials; brushes, palette knife, white & tinted grounds, and flat or canvas surfaces. A list of acrylic supplies is available when you register.

 

This class is for painters of all levels, beginner through intermediate. We’ll cover topics such as composition, design, color theory, color mixing, color harmony, as well as materials and techniques. In addition to learning the fundamentals of painting with acrylics, class time will allow for experimentation, creativity and the opportunity to work on student’s own projects with the guidance of an instructor.

 

Paint your masterpiece using the versatile medium of acrylics! This class is designed for the beginner, who has been working in acrylics for less than five years, with an emphasis on learning the basics through practice. The former student will have the opportunity to develop more confidence by perfecting their current skill level, while the more experienced student will explore their personal style. Step-by- step instruction includes: toning the canvas, blocking-in, painting techniques, choosing materials, mediums, and additives and how to design a successful composition. Demonstrations, group critiques, and independent exercises will further enhance your learning experience. No prior painting experience is necessary. Students will progress at their own pace with individualized guidance. Carolyn Wallace-Zani owns her own studio. She frequently conducts drawing classes for children and adults. Her teaching style and drawing techniques focus on using basic shapes as the building blocks for constructing familiar three-dimensional objects.

Coloring books are no longer just for kids. Groundbreaking research proved anxiety levels dropped when subjects colored. Join us for a relaxing night out and color until your heart's content. All materials and supplies are included.
