This class is designed to help the student discover methods in using acrylics to help to express their individual style. Acrylics are a very versatile and amazing medium. They allow the student to develop their own "tricks" and style. This fast drying paint makes for quick overlays and can even act as a glue to create textures and other unique results. Acrylics are gentle on the budget as any grade is good - unlike oils that vary in quality. This medium can also mimic watercolor, pastel, and even oils. Take the anxiety out of painting and have fun.

The more abstractly you work, the more important composition, color, value and design become. Learn how to successfully 'break the rules and push the boundaries' to make strong abstract paintings that make a personal statement. The course will include various class assignments, lectures, critiques and demonstrations. You will be encouraged to work in a series which will help you to get clarity in personal direction, and produce a body of work. Bring drawing/painting supplies to first class.

Topics to be covered include: effectively using a light source, understanding the difference between near, middle, and far points of view and why a strong composition is so important.

Class work includes instructor demonsrations, structured assignments (either from subject matter suggested by the instructor or subject matter the participant brings to class), opportunities to practice learned techniques during the week and constructive critiques.

Every 2 weeks we will start a new flower. The flowers we will work on will be poppies, iris, roses, and sunflowers. The first week we will work from my photo and paint a realistic version of the flower. The second week we will try a new creative version of the flower. We will be working with new materials including papers, oil pastel, polymer medium, etc. The second week we will also be working on creative compositions. There will be outside class work and additional $1-$2 for materials supplied each week. This should be a fun and creative class with new ideas for painting flowers!

Figurative work is 'back in demand'! We will work from the live model the first week, to make quick sketches for our resource material. Using these sketches with the addition of photo reference/imagination, we will work toward a painting that is 'figurative'.....vs. portraiture. You will be encouraged to use a variety of mediums, (mixed media...i.e: watermedia, drawing materials, etc.) Oil painters are welcome as well. Plan to bring $5-10 cash for the model fee, a large sketch pad, and compressed charcoal to the first class. For more information about Victoria: www.victoriakwasinski.com
