Why keep it simple? You'd be surprised at how much goes into the creation of a little still life painting! When we keep it simple, you have fewer elements to coordinate, and it's much easier to get started.
You'll discover:
  • How to use thumbnail sketches to design your compositions
  • How to create a feeling of balance in your composition
  • How to paint light and shadow
  • How to create a feeling of dimension and volume
  • Two different kinds of painters — and two different ways to approach painting. Which works best for you?
Then you'll create two paintings, as you discover more about acrylic paints, mixing colors, light and shadow, the subject you're painting, and who you are as a painter.

On the second day, you'll learn how to use glazes and be introduced to acrylic mediums. Then you'll explore using acrylic paints in a way that looks like watercolors in a third painting, and you'll be able to develop all three of your paintings, with Karen's guidance and support.

This is an excellent introduction to acrylic painting, whether you've never painted before, or whether you're experienced in another medium, and want to discover just what it is you can do in acrylics that you can't in any other paint medium.
