Sometimes painting seems so fun, but you have no idea how to start. What colors do you use? How do you fill the canvas in an interesting way? What do you do with the background? During this class we will experiment with different color palettes and learn how to develop interesting colors. The focus will also be on developing interesting compositions that draw the eye through the canvas, have backgrounds that compliment the subject and feel well thought out. Throughout the class we will work with acrylic paint. Paint, brushes and  canvas panels will be available or you can bring your own. In the first class we will discuss materials and options. 

$10 material fee included 

* Please note the youth studio is in a historical building with stairs.
