Already comfortable with acrylics but looking to push your skills further? Join our Advanced Acrylic Painting class — designed specifically for artists like you who want to explore new styles, tools, and textures with expert instruction from a professional working and teaching artist with over 50 years of acrylic painting experience.

In this dynamic, hands-on course, you'll:

• Receive personalized feedback and guidance from an experienced instructor
• Explore mixed media and unconventional materials to add depth and dimension to your work
