Acrylic Painting From The Mind’s Eye, Kerry Didday 2025-2026

by

Kerry Didday I

Fridays 1:00-3:30 pm

Painting from your “Minds Eye” is painting with ideas, shapes, colors and concepts that come to your imagination at any time of day or night. I promote a creative environment where artists are inspired by each member of the class as we begin each day with a class review of current work as I critique and provide helpful comments. Students should have an open mind and look forward to new and exciting painting avenues while learning to create paintings and collage papers. You will build a personal library of creative collage materials while exploring the basics of abstract development through practical lessons. This is an ongoing weekly class with the development of individual skills as we explore: Mixed Media, Acrylic Mediums, Gels, Pastes, Color development and the Importance of Multi-Layer Underpainting and the “Lot to a Little” design concept.

S1: Mar 6, 13, 20, 29, Apr 3
S2: Apr 10, 17, 24, May 1, 8
