Whether you have an unfinished painting yearning for attention, a new canvas waiting to be brought to life, or simply wish to soak in the artistic atmosphere, this is the perfect opportunity. Bring your current works in progress (WIPs) and enjoy a supportive environment while you focus on finishing those lingering projects. Engage with fellow artists, share ideas, and embrace the joy of painting together as you transform your visions into reality.
Acrylic Painting Fundamentals- Value Study
By the end of this course, you will have an understanding of the following concepts:
1. Create a value scale to get a visual of the depth that can be achieved by mixing black and white paint.
2. Create value and depth in your painting.
