Learn about materials, washes, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, colour mixing, negative/positive painting, layering and some pretty cool textures. Through a series of exercises and small paintings, you'll gain a better understanding of the medium and the building process to create paintings of which you can genuinely be proud.

Our creations will include cubism, abstract, landscapes, florals, how to paint snow, and fall scenes. We will play and explore with different tools like a palette knife and textured mediums, foil and glazes. We don't believe an artist's age should determine participation eligibility. This class is open to any children who can self-regulate / focus / manage 90 minutes of instruction and activity.
