Elaine Wilson Presents:
Acrylic and Mixed Media Studio Time Workshop
You will never stare at a blank canvas again and wonder where to begin!
Thursdays April 13th, 20th, and 27th from 9AM to 12PM
$180 for Nine Hours of Monthly Instruction - Three Three-Hour Workshops
The Studio Time Workshop is designed to further develop each students' skills with individual hands-on help and critique from Elaine. We will continue to begin each painting using timed audio commands and canvas rotation, but everyone will go at their own pace with the option of starting a new project each week. This class will include referring to the ten abstract design compositions, assistance in color mixing, improvement in executing painting techniques, and the use of new brushes and tools. A wider range of collage materials will be discussed with an emphasis on editing your own work using the editing questions. Students who have completed Level 1 are eligible for this workshop.
