Details
Acrylic Color Lab is an exploratory painting session focused on color relationships, emotional expression, and expressive mark-making. This class invites students to step away from representational painting and instead experiment with how color, texture, and movement work together to communicate mood and energy.
Through guided exercises, students will learn how to mix a wide range of colors, create harmonious and intentional palettes, and explore a variety of mark-making techniques using brushes, palette knives, and unconventional tools. Emphasis is placed on process over perfection, encouraging curiosity, layering, and bold experimentation.
This class is ideal for beginners looking to gain confidence with acrylic paint as well as experienced painters who want to loosen up their style and push creative boundaries. The environment is relaxed and supportive, allowing space to explore personal expression while gaining practical skills that can be applied to future work.
All supplies are included, and each participant will leave with finished studies and a deeper understanding of how color and gesture can shape visual storytelling
