ColorScapes: Basics in Acrylic Painting WEEKEND WORKSHOP, June 7 & June 8, 10AM-4PM with guest artist Tania Dirks, SOLD OUT
Are you someone who’s inspired by vibrant colors? Have you also been thinking about learning how to paint? Join us for this colorful & cozy weekend, designed for the beginner and well as those wanting to expand their knowledge of color theory- which will support your color mixing & color choices as you paint.
Tania is a wonderful teaching artist who will guide you and encourage you, while making you laugh!
In this 2-day workshop, you will be guided -step by step - in learning the foundational skills of painting with acrylics. From prepping your canvas to finishing & properly preserving your painting, guest artist Tania Dirks will share the skills you will need to learn this versatile medium. A great opportunity to find your style and voice through both stroke and colors! Lessons will include, toning and color blocking, creating visual rhythm and movement in composition, layering and highlighting and then, the all important: “how to know when to stop”! In addition to these foundational techniques & principles, Tania will also support your learning by sharing color theory. Not to mention - her teaching style is a lot of fun!
All art tools & materials you’ll need for the series are included, and we will offer you a choice of 16”x20” canvas or 12x16”. All you need to bring is an inspirational subject to paint (a personal photograph or an image you find out in the world!).
A starter set of acrylic paints by Liquitex will also be included with your registration, so that you may continue practicing, between and beyond the series sessions.
Tania looks forward to sharing her love of this medium and art-making with you!!
No experience is needed!
Additional tools & materials- for your practice at home, if you’d like that option, will be suggested during the class. A class list/ link through Dick Blick will be provided for these supplies.
