This is a fabulous class for teens who love to paint and want to learn more and progress in their painting skills. Students learn fine arts painting using acrylics, a fabulous painting medium with bold colors and a texture very much like oil paint.

Students draw what they paint so this class has the added advantage of teaching both drawing and painting. We explore color strategies such as complimentary and/or triadic color schemes. The class offers instruction in color concepts, drawing and painting principles, brush techniques, mixing colors, and additional painting techniques that help students develop and enhance their painting skills.

Students learn by following the instructor in guided drawing and painting. The class is offered in person and is 2 hours long. All art materials are supplied and a materials fee is added at registration.
