Painting with AcrylicsWORKSHOPS and CLASSES2012Painting with acrylics is a wonderful hobby. There are no fumes, the paints dry quickly, you can add a variety of media to them so they take on properties similar to oils or watercolours.I love acrylics and I use them in my decorative painting, like the projects featured below as well as in my mixed media art. Please check back again as I continue to develop classes for the 2012 Winter and Spring schedule.

COUNTRY PATHWAYS SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate Adapted from an original design by Jamie Mills-Price from her book Between the Vines 5 DATE: Sunday, May 06, 2012 WORKSHOP FEE: $45.00 no HST Paint on a surface of your choice.

A beautiful spring landscape framed by gorgeous tulips. -----------------------------------------------------------------

I did mine on a 10 x 20 canvas but you could enlarge it for a floorcloth (which I might do myself), or adorn a small foyer table top.

LES FLEURS SKILL LEVEL: Intermediate Original design by Cheri Dennett, CDA, from her book Enhanced Acrylics. DATE: Sunday, February 12, 2012 WORKSHOP FEE: $45.00 no HST
Painted on a 16-inch round plaque. "Soft, light and delicate. Sweet Peas and Daisies create a Country French look on an aged clock face which is sure to become a focal point in any setting."
