This class is meant to be a gathering of likeminded artists who want the joy of painting in a group atmosphere and for students with basic acrylic painting knowledge.
For beginners moving to intermediate, we will cover and refresh on the fundamentals of painting including supplies, mixing color, how to use brushes, creating a good composition, how to pick a subject, identifying a focal point etc. For more advanced students, there will be one on one time with the instructor to go over your piece and suggested guidance.

Your piece will be worked on for multiple days, don’t fret if it doesn’t finish the first day!

For students new to this class, a picture will be posted in the Wallkill River Center for the Arts facebook group by Nancy that will be what you’ll be working off of; please be sure to print the image in color and bring it to class. Limited copies may be available. For more advanced students, you’re encouraged to bring your own references or works in progress to work on.

Students will bring their own supplies.  Oil painters are welcome to attend!
