NANCY CARTY-GARDEN IN BLOOM- ACRYLIC PAINTING ART CLASS

The Garden In Bloom: An Introduction to Painting with Acrylics

Nancy has been teaching for many years in the Raleigh area. She brings with her a wealth of information to share with you. Everyone will leave with at least one painting.

Description: Using photo references supplied by the instructor, students will focus on how to plan and organize a painting using acrylic paint. Emphasis will be on the composition, and design of the page, a defined light source, value placement and color harmony. Personal expression and interpretation of the subject matter is encouraged. The first part of the class students will coat the panel a light /value color. After the demo they can begin to draw the design with white chalk pencils. Instructor will be demoing on her own easel and will provide handouts with her instructions included. She will supply the white chalk pencils, painters tape, canvas paper (for testing colors,) and both black and white color references for the floral studies.
