Acrylic: Beginning

Start from the foundation as Adam demonstrates each step of the process of making an acrylic painting, from gessoing a board/canvas, to creating a drawing and painting, to varnishing and wiring the finished piece. Students will receive individualized instruction that supports all skill levels, including painters with more experience. Adam will demonstrate color mixing using a variety of color theory techniques as well as glazing and impasto techniques with a palette knife, brush, and scraping tools. Students will create a series of paintings using their own reference material and learn to keep proportions accurate.
