Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this acrylic painting class:

In this class, we will explore the fundamentals of acrylic painting in Portraiture. Using Masters techniques, we will learn the basics of using this modern medium to create form, learn color mixing, and create images that mimic the effect of oil without the use of solvents and mediums. 

The last four weeks we will concentrate on portraiture using live models. Classes can be geared to all skill levels and participants can work at their own pace. Subject matter is at the discretion and skill level of each student.

Workshop Etiquette

  • If you arrive late, please enter quietly. If you have equipment to set up, please wait for a break to set up so that you do not disrupt the class.
  • The front row of benches is reserved for individuals who are sitting. Standing in the front row will block the view of those behind you. Personal easels are not allowed in the front row, unless they are low enough that it does not obstruct any portion of the view of the people behind you.
  • Please be mindful of the amount of space you and your equipment occupy. Economize your work space to accommodate fellow artists.
  • Please be polite to the models, and ask first before taking their pictures. The model may require a fee.
  • Please do not talk while class is in session. Save all discussions for outside the studio.
  • Be sure to switch cell phones and pagers to silent model.
  • Don’t comment on others’ work unless it is solicited.
  • Animals are not permitted at school for health reasons. Assistance dogs for the disabled are allowed.
  • Please clean up your work area and properly dispose of your waste after class. Use the brush cleaning closet, not the bathroom sinks, to clean your hands, paintbrushes and other art tools.
  • No turpentine or smelly solvents and mediums are allowed. Odorless mineral spirits is preferred.
Q&A

Q: Can students under 18 take this class? 
A: A student under 18 will need a waiver signed by a parent/guardian to participate. The waiver should acknowledge that as part of his enrollment in an art school, a student may encounter artwork depicting nudity.
