Come alone or sign up with a friend. Open to students 10 years and older, this is a great way to spend time with family. Painting is about expression. Free your creative juices no matter how little or how much experience you have because there are always endless possibilities to discover. Add expression to your art by using colors you were afraid to use, making silly marks, and doing things with the innocence of a child. No wrongs or rights, just having fun and letting go. Express your inner thoughts and sharpen your skills at the same time. We will talk about composition, acrylic techniques, space, and rhythm while having a really good time doing it.
