Acrylic Painting Class
Goshen Town Hall - Upstairs Dining Hall
42 Main St, Goshen, MA 01032
Learning to capture an object through painting, to see it's shape, value, lighting, line is a satisfying practice. Participants will work on developing traditional painting methods including color mixing/theory, value, line, shape, and "seeing" what they are painting. Students will complete 2-3 paintings during this class time, and will be allowed to work at their own speed and move onto the next project when they are ready. Inspiration will come from still lifes of every day objects and photos.
