Join us in this Acrylics Workshop for eight teaching sessions and a culminating event. 

We will work in three genres; Landscape, Still Life, Animalistic.

This acrylic painting workshop is for beginners and for those who have experience in painting and/or drawing allowing students to experiment using their previous skills or learning something that is totally new.

The painting method is simple and easy to follow. The teacher will take a step and students will follow. At every stage of the class, the teacher will explain what you are doing and why, leading you to the desired results.
