Color Theory & Intro to Acrylic Painting
Beginner-friendly, 3-week Acrylic painting class. Mondays at 1 pm.
Class Info
This is a beginner-friendly Acrylic painting class taught by Nadia Kossman. This class will take you through the basics of color theory and value in traditional painting. We will study light and shadow in order to depict scenes with contrast and sensitivity. It is a good introduction for those who want to acquire a strong foundation for painting. The goals for this class are to allow students to master basic color theory and to create a working knowledge of value and saturation levels. The first class will focus on color mixing and black and white studies, the second class will work with different levels of saturation, and the last class will focus on completing an original painting in color. $150 All materials will be provided for the students!
