INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED: This workshop is for intermediate-beginners and experienced artists alike who want to learn new techniques and be inspired by innovative applications of acrylic paints. In these 4 different sessions, covering 2 days, students will focus on design, format, and technique while using acrylic paint, mediums, and various mixed media options. Work completed will be expressive from a non-objective approach. Demos and group critiques will be short and to the point so that more time can be spent experimenting with various techniques.
