Acrylic painting is a great medium for beginner painters because it dries quickly and is very forgiving. If you are not happy with an area you have painted, you can let it dry and paint right over it in a matter of minutes. You can learn “Acrylic Painting Basics” on Tuesday afternoons, January 15 through February 12, 2019 (no class on January 29) from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. This four-week class will introduce participants to composition as well as painting and brush techniques. Local instructor Myndi Smithers will also cover color theory and mixing acrylic colors. The cost for the acrylic painting classes is $100 for members and $135 for non-members.
