Loosen Up - Painting with Acrylics

ID : 13753   
« back to classes page
ClassGraphic Tap into your creativity with no expectations and total freedom to explore and experiment! During class Melissa will offer several demos and guided activities to help you generate calm, creative energy, and find your visual inspiration. The primary focus will be learning via experimentation and utilizing “happy accidents” with this very forgiving medium. You will paint on a small scale, work through multiple ideas, and play with different techniques. The goal is to release your attachment to what you paint, focus on how it feels to paint and express yourself, and learn how the paint behaves.

Some basic tools and supplies are provided in class, but you will need to bring your paint and brushes to have on hand for class. 

Please bring lunch, and dress in comfy clothes that can get messy!

Please remember to bring your materials fees with you to class.
