Acrylics are a beautiful medium to work in. More forgiving than watercolors and
faster drying than oils, they are an ideal tool for producing many different effects.
Learn how to mix and blend colors, keep your colors moist, create textures, glaze,
using palette knives, correcting mistakes and so much more! In this class we will
paint simple winter snow scenes from photos provided. If you have your own photo references, please bring them to class.
