Acrylic Painting Study Studio

$45 Originally: $25

with Gayle Fitzpatrick, Noble Adult & Community Education

Calendar Nov 12, 2026 at 6 pm

Discover the joy of acrylic painting in this welcoming series of two separate 2-night studio workshops. Each workshop may be taken on its own or together, allowing you to choose the subject that inspires you most—or enjoy both for a fuller creative experience.

In each session, you’ll be guided step-by-step through a complete painting while building confidence with foundational techniques such as composition, color theory, and color mixing.

One workshop will focus on painting peaceful landscapes, exploring how to capture light, depth, and atmosphere in scenic views. The second workshop will focus on pet portraiture (or another favorite animal), with an emphasis on bringing out personality, expression, and texture.

Whether you’re painting a meaningful place or a beloved companion, these relaxed studio-style evenings offer a supportive space to learn, create, and enjoy the process of making art. Each student will leave with a finished piece and a deeper understanding of acrylic painting techniques.
