Art Starters: Fundamentals of Painting (ages 8-16) - FEBRUARY

4 Saturdays, February 7 - 28, 1-3pm

Ready for a creative adventure? This is the class where you get to discover the awesome techniques artists use every day! We're diving into two exciting worlds of color: Bold Acrylics (for thick, popping colors) and Magical Watercolors (for light, flowing effects)!

In this totally fun, beginner-friendly workshop, we're going to learn the simple secrets that make paintings look incredible: You'll become a color mixing genius, learning the easy tricks for creating any shade you need! We’ll explore the ultimate Layering Trick, showing you how to build up your paint—from super light and see-through to thick and dimensional, to give your art incredible depth and glow.

You will also master the fun challenge of Making Things Look Real, figuring out the secrets to painting cool texture (like an apple) and achieving totally clear glass (like a transparent vase).

You won’t just learn about painting; you'll leave with three awesome final projects!
