Aug. 10, 17, 24   6:00 – 9:00

Paint Yourself  Out of a Corner  - Three Day Acrylic Painting

No art experience is required. The layers of a painting mimic the layer of our lives. You will learn to unravel the complexities of a finished artwork and simplify the piece into several layers, each form building on the next. In painting, what is seen first is painted last. In stress related circumstances we become too attached to the top layer or the culmination of many factors. You will do this and finish the piece in 3 sessions.  Please call for supply list. 724-981-5652. You may use oil paints if you choose to bring your own, otherwise acrylics will be on hand.  Cost $55  Tuesdays  Aug. 10, 17, 24   6:00 – 9:00
