See "Course Dates" for options. 

If classes are full, please CALL (613-256-9198) us to be added to the Waitlist.

Description  

This class is for the absolute beginner, novice or experienced artist.  If you want to start with acrylics but then also try oils, both are possible in this class.

Expect to create 2-3 paintings in your 6 week class.  We look at going step-by-step to begin your painting.  Each class opens with a lesson, to get you started, build on a skill or to try something entirely new.  After the lesson, students will pick a picture they like to paint and probably outline a simple drawing on the canvas.  All students are offered tailored guidance at their request throughout the class; some artists may want more direction than others.  Learn in a fun, inclusive environment while socializing with other painters.  Bring home artwork that you are proud of, as you see your skills develop over this series of classes.

Topics we will cover include:

Blending and layering

Mixing colours

Balance

Brushstrokes and texture

Problem solving

Taking your paintings to completion

Note: we also offer an evening painting class on Tuesdays from 7-9pm with instruction on either Acrylic or Oil.
