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.
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. Bring the paints and supplies listed for beginners in the blue section in this listing. (There is a Blick’s store at 5301 Broadway in Oakland.) You can order from DickBlick.com, or Amazon. Marcy suggests you order 2oz tubes of paint until you commit to Acrylic Paints, but you will use more of Titanium White than any other color, so it won’t be wrong to buy a 5oz tube of Titanium White.
