         Acrylic Painting with Lauren Combs

  In this 4-session class we will cover characteristics of acrylics and basic techniques, types of brushes and substrates color mixing and color palettes, while building a landscape in layers. The class will give participants a foundation to build their art practice and develop their own painting styles.

  While painting a landscape, participants will learn about the properties of acrylics, the tools (brushes, knives, alternative applicators), basic color mixing, and techniques.

  They will begin by underpainting the canvas, and end with glazing the final product.

  In this class you will learn how to paint with soft pastels without having to purchase expensive materials and supplies.  We will cover all related topics, such as drawing, composition, color wheel basics, mixing colors and much more as we work. This class is suitable for beginners and intermediate level students. We will start with simple sketches to learn how to apply pastels and progress to more complex paintings. 

  Each student will be provided with a professional pastel paper and a limited palette of hard and soft pastels during class. You are welcome to bring your own supplies that you are comfortable working with. We will work on some projects together, using the instructor’s references, and on individual projects of your choice based on your own interest in a subject matter. I will help you every step on the way. The objective for this class is that each student enjoys creativity and self-expression and develops his or her own style.
