The ABC's of Painting: Acrylics, Brushes and Canvas
Saturdays 10:00am to noon and Thursdays 6-8pm. Instructor: Simmon Factor
Open to ages 13 through adult, beginning through intermediate levels.
Acrylics may be the perfect medium for you – rich, brilliant, easy to use, non-toxic and very fast drying. They're versatile and can be used like either oils or watercolors or mixed with other materials for collage or special effects. We study color, composition and mixed-media while exploring portraiture, realism, and abstraction. This class is ideal for the beginner, as well as for experienced artists who want new challenges and to expand on their foundations.
$30 per class, or $100 for four lessons. Class size is limited.
To register, call Village Art Supply at 575-4501 or e-mail villageart@pon.net
