Floral Acrylic with
Marion Anderson

Experience Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Instructor: Marion Anderson
Program Summary: Artists looking to work in acrylic paint will enjoy this floral painting workshop with Marion Anderson. Her experience as both a studio instructor and successful practicing  artist make her the perfect instructor for both new and experienced artists.
Class Description: We start by rapidly applying colourful random shapes to the canvas as our underpainting. After lunch, we use the negative painting technique to pull out shapes to create stems, leaves and blossoms. The finishing touch is the use of line to add a loose, contemporary edge to your work.
