Let’s mix things up. Explore the magic of acrylic color mixing—learn about complementary colors and how they spark, how neutrals hum, and what makes a color note truly sing. Through guided exercises you’ll build confidence, sharpen your eye, and leave with a more intuitive, intentional feel for color. The day wraps up with the completion of a step by step still life painting, putting your new found skills and color panache to canvas!
Let’s demystify, simplify and become experts in tools and materials to create beautiful paintings. Dive into the essentials of acrylic painting—from paint brands and brushes to mediums, palettes, and why a clean water system truly matters. Learn smart studio strategies (including transporting wet paintings) and complete a guided painting along the way.
Take your practice outside! Building on essentials from Color Chemistry and The Nuts & Bolts, we’ll capture the light and color of Spring in Burlington. Meet at Oakledge Park for hands-on plein air painting—practice quick techniques, gain understanding of the chronology of steps and why they matter, mix color on the spot, and enjoy a guided, playful approach. Materials list provided via email upon registration.
