Acrylic Exploration: Techniques, Color Mixing and Creating Textures (session 1)
In this class, students will explore color and technique through hands-on practice and guided experimentation. We’ll learn how to mix colors with confidence, use complementary colors to create balance, and build rich textures that add depth and interest to a painting. Students will come away with a stronger understanding of color, texture, and value to apply in their own work.
