Step into the vibrant realm of acrylic painting—a universe teeming with color, potential, and unbridled creativity. Whether you're a novice taking your first brush strokes or a seasoned artist eager to explore new horizons, acrylics beckon with a promise of endless possibilities.

At its core, what are acrylic paints? Think of acrylics as versatile liquid plastics. Scientifically speaking, they comprise pigments held together by an acrylic polymer emulsion. But what truly sets them apart is their adaptability. Ever made a mistake on canvas? Fret not, for acrylics' opacity lets you paint right over it, turning missteps into masterpieces. Moreover, their swift drying time—often under an hour—provides immediate gratification unlike any other medium.

Diane will take students from color theory and basic techniques to more advanced skills and experimentation so that participants in this class will have the skills and confidence to construct and begin their own paintings.
