TUESDAY MIXED MEDIA PAINTING w Shea Proulx 12:30pm-3:30pm
Art Class Description:
You can work in your own style, be new to artistic practise, or a pro looking for inspiration in the form of novel materials, a dedicated studio time, and the company of fellow artists. We’ll explore combinations of materials and learn the rules for effective layering, creating personalized strategies for each artist’s individual style. Whether you prefer watercolour, acrylic, oil, pencil, or collage, you’ll learn many effective methods for creating preliminary drawings and underpaintings, finding the sweet spot for colours and textures, and finishing with seals and varnishes. Come with works in progress, or complete projects that target your areas of interest.
Bring your own supplies, and experiment with new materials as interest arises, for a small use-based fee.
$150 (4 weeks) plus gst. Supplies not included

Missed classes may also be gifted to a friend.
Once the 4 weeks of classes are used up and the participant chooses to do another month of classes, then participants are asked to give a full month's notice to exit class. (This really helps balance a small business, thanks!)
If a class is cancelled by Danielle Bartlette due to illness/family emergencies, credit will be given for future classes or a replacement teacher will facilitate the class in her place.
