Intro to Acrylic Painting (ages 10-17)

Come spend the afternoon with Piper Grant & learn the fundamentals of acrylic painting!

 

What to Expect:

  • Demonstration of Materials

  • Color Wheel Lesson and Practice (hue and saturation)

  • Complementary Color practice

    • Students draw their favorite fruit

    • Once drawn, they will begin a complimentary color painting (red fruit/ green background, orange fruit/blue background etc)

    • To add 3 dimensionality to their fruit paintings, students will shade with complementary color to darken and desaturate the shadows.

  • If time Allows, we will talk about triadic color schemes and paint that scheme into geometric patterns.

    All materials are included for use during this class and there will be a supply list provided to purchase materials to take home.

    There are no prerequisites for this course.

    This is a fundamentals class and the concepts we cover will be used in later classes as we continue to explore this classic medium.
