Acrylic Techniques via ZOOM (Thursday PM) 6-week Artist Series

January 21, 2021 @ 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm

Starts online Thursday afternoon, January 21st (Thursdays from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. for 6 weeks. ZOOM link is open to participants by 1:15 p.m. each week, so folks can say hello and prepare for class.)

Artists explore basic acrylic painting techniques in a flexible, supportive setting. Color mixing and theories, paint and imagery layering, composition, and other fundamentals are discussed. We paint and interpret from observation, photo or printed references, and imagination.

Contemporary and past artists act as kindred spirits and influence weekly prompts. We begin with a demo and warm up canvas, then develop ideas based on colors from one source and imagery from another (artists’ works, participants’ own photos, project ideas etc.) All levels are welcome.

Supplies: Wait to discuss with Alex if you are new to the series. Be prepared to purchase six basic colors, short handle Round brushes 12, 10, and 6, palette paper, two 16 x 20 inch canvases per week (5 pack available). The site alexstudioarts.wordpress.com contains student works, archives of projects since 2019, and recent prompts from Spring 2020.

Zoom sessions and how it works: To allow for a more relaxed entry and exit, session is open to participants by 1:15 PM, so folks can say hello and prepare. The session starts at 1:30 PM with each participant sharing something about their week, their work followed by a warm-up and or demonstration. We work (participants muted) with music I play until 2:30/2:45. Unmuted, participants share progress and what is happening. Then we work until 4:00-4:15 PM. Unmuted, participants share until close at 4:30/4:45 PM. I send a link for the six weeks, and it remains the same for the duration. I send a weekly email with prompts, resources, and link.

Non-members: $195 for 6 weeks, or $40 per class. Members: $156.
