Acrylic Painting with Erin Burton
THURSDAYS @ 1:30pm - Starting September 28
The first half hour (approximate) of each session will be dedicated to newcomers and there will be paints and other supplies that will allow them to participate, following Erin's lesson. This will give beginners a chance to learn and find out what's needed and to purchase their own supplies.
The more experienced painters can work on independent projects or work together under Erin's direction.
Watercolour Painting with Adele Partington
START FROM SCRATCH & ALL MATERIALS SUPPLIED
MONDAYS @ 1 pm - 3 pm
The watercolour beginner class will allow you to learn the fundamentals of watercolour from scratch, in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. You will begin with an overview of the materials for success, followed by classes on basic techniques, colour mixing, wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet techniques, and creating soft edges. You will learn how to fix mistakes and when to just let the water do its thing. You will finish the course with your own collection of paintings including still life, landscapes, flowers and animals.
Adele has been teaching watercolour online, as well as at Askennonia and the Barrie Art Club. She is a member of the Tiny Art Collective, the Bala Plein Air Group, International Watercolour Canada and exhibited at the Coldwater Studio Tour, Honey Harbour Art Hub, Tiny Township Art Tour, and has art in local businesses in the Simcoe and Muskoka area.
