April 11 to May 16

8 classes  $160 Members__ $180 Non-members

Acrylic paints are amazing!  Learn about the paint and mediums that are essential to a rich and deep acrylic painting.

Acrylics are wonderful and flexible. It washes up with water, but when it dries, it is a water proof polymer, so wear “painting clothes”!

There are 6 session in this class.  Any Student may make up a missed Friday class in Marcy’s Thursday afternoon class (2:30- 5) in Studio 2. This should be done during the weeks of the class dates. Just let me know.

Ongoing Students, advanced beginners , intermediate advanced, continue on their road as “not quite” beginners, intermediate, and advanced painters, and cheer the beginners on! Learning continues with individual guidance from Marcy, as usual. We often share our work at the end of the class and learn more about our own work from the other class members. If you are an ongoing student, you are in charge of your own material purchases.

Beginners: This six-week session of Marcy Wheeler’s Friday Morning Class is focused on showing beginners how to mix colors and play with acrylic paints. The beginners will work in the heart of the class together and will be greeted with fun projects to teach them the ins and outs of color and acrylic paints. Beginner’s Material Fee is $60. Paid by check or cash to Marcy Wheeler on 1st class meeting. You get to keep the high quality paints (5 tubes) and several new and used brushes. If you want to buy your own paints, please do, but be sure to get the beginning colors I advise. The list is in the blue section under the heading: Material List. Bring some canvas or heavy paper to paint on, and a palette. Let Marcy know if  you want to purchase her beginning paint package by emailing her at Marcy@marcywheeler.com.

 

Marcy Wheeler, Instructor

I did my first oil painting when I was thirteen…Received a BFA in Painting at the University of Illinois…became a baker…switched from oils to acrylics when my kids were toddling…started teaching 25 years ago...like resting in a comfy chair…like wearing a straw hat…like being by a creek…love painting. I also love working with painters who want to learn more, expanding their tool bag and art vision. All the while, having a bit of fun and getting to know each other.
