Painting Studio

IN-PERSON IN KENSINGTON

THURSDAYS, 4:30–6:30

MONDAYS, 6:30–8:30

In the Painting Studio, we’ll learn about color theory by creating painting projects with various media. We mostly work with acrylics and watercolors.
Acrylic painting is excellent for beginners and professional artists, as acrylic paints provide a vast variety of options to work with and master techniques – or just have fun playing with its vibrant colors. If you have ever worked with acrylics, you know how forgiving this medium is and how easy it is to work on any surface. However, it may cause some troubles as the paints dry fast, and some people struggle with color application and mixing. In our classes, I will show how to overcome the inevitable “ugly stages” of painting, walk through some essential techniques, and explain the main principles of creating great color combinations. You will see how your brushwork will improve.

Watercolors are considered one of the most challenging mediums – but you won’t be scared of them anymore as you practice and learn specific techniques. We’ll explore wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet methods, learn to use masking, and discover many more ways to create beautiful compositions. You’ll find your way to paint with loose or more academic watercolors and have fun with it. 

These classes are for adults and teens 14 years and older. Children 12+ can join the class together with an adult. Families are welcome to sign up (discounts will apply).
