Your painting skills are built with practice, training, and challenging yourself with new techniques and ideas! This intermediate level acrylics workshop will help you do just that.
We will spend 3 full days on fun and challenging drills and exercises involving speed, limited palettes, expressive brushstrokes, tool use, different grounds-and more!
Be prepared to work outside your comfort zone, to expand your horizons and your skill set!
