Acrylic painting at Michael's Stores

Just in case you are thinking that the art classes at Michael's are a bit pricy, you may be able to use a store coupon towards the cost, so that instead og $45, it will come down to about $28 or $29 -a big difference. Also the price of the kit, which is about $59, can be reduced by 40% by using a coupon that is in the Michael's flyer. If you already have paints and the right colours for the class, you do not need to purchase a kit. The colours for the yellow lilly painting are: white ultramarine blue, cadmium red, cadmium yellow and lemon yellow.

Acrylic workshop for beginners

I am going to be teaching a workshop in acrylic painting for beginners in April, Some Tuesday or Wednesday evenings at 6-8p.m at the Michael's store in Belleville. There will be two sessions a month. You can drop in to Michael's to sign up any time after March 20th. The cost is $45 per session.

You will also be required to purchase a kit of basic materials including an instruction book, two brushes, canvas and acrylic paints from Grumbacher. You will need to bring a small table easel, a water container and paper towels or rag. There is a nice, well lit craft room at the front of the store where we will be painting.

We will all paint the same flower or landscape painting, step by step, but of course, you are welcome to add your own flavour to it. Hopefully, you will be able to complete the whole painting in the 2 hour time frame. This is the first picture we are going to paint.

There will be a short critique at the end of each session. You do not have to participate in this if you don't feel comfortable. I will be nice!

Children are welcome, but they will need an adult to sign them in.
