Get ready to roll up your sleeves, splash some color around, and dive into a creative adventure in this 12-hour acrylic painting experience! Spread across five fun, relaxed sessions, this class is perfect for beginners and curious creatives who want to explore, experiment, and actually enjoy the process of making art.

We’ll kick things off with a lively 4-hour painting session where you’ll learn the basics—color mixing, layering, brushwork—and create a finished piece step by step. No stress, no perfection required—just a chance to get comfortable with your tools and let your creativity flow.

From there, the next two four-hour sessions open things up in exciting ways. You’ll explore the elements of art (like color, texture, line, value and shape) through playful exercises that help you see and create differently. Then we’ll get hands-on with gelli plate printing, where you’ll experiment with layering textures and patterns to create one-of-a-kind prints (warning: it’s a little addictive!).

Finally, we’ll dive into the world of abstract painting, where there are no rules—just movement, intuition, and bold expression. You’ll build on everything you’ve learned to create artwork that’s uniquely yours.

About the Instructor:

As a corporate trainer, Anne has been teaching for over 30 years. As a professional artist, her art has been represented in more than 70 galleries across the country. Anne’s interest in art spawned when she was a young girl. She was fortunate to be surrounded by creative family members who encouraged exploring many types of mediums: pottery, weaving, jewelry making, stained glass, fused-glass, acrylics, watercolor, silk painting, pastels, and most recently mixed media. Creating abstract art allows her to be intuitive, harness imagination, and not become attached to a specific outcome.
