Independent Studio in Acrylics
11 Week Class ONLINE | Available
This ONLINE course is designed to help you build confidence and independence in painting in acrylics. You will explore and refine your choice of paint (fluid, heavy, and mediums), subject matter (from image-based to abstraction), and application techniques. Conversations will take place at the beginning of each class using uploaded images in Google Drive, encouraging students to speak about their work and current developments with the support of fellow students and the instructor. Intermediate and advanced level students will focus on honing their personal voice, developing core concepts and preparing for independent studio practice and exhibition.
Students should be prepared to begin working in the first class. If a student is unsure of where to start, the instructor will provide a beginning point.
Note: This course is suitable for individuals to return to as many semesters as needed until they are ready for complete studio independence.
