Acrylic Inspirations   B-A
Kerry Didday

Saturday: 9:30 – 12:00

Are you a beginning painter that has been playing but wishes to learn where to go next? Maybe you are an intermediate painter looking to expand and explore new avenues and directions. Or, an experienced artist looking to expand the portfolio, or create a mind-blowing series. That’s my role, to move each individual painter forward in their painting endeavors. I promote a creative environment where artists are inspired by each member of the class. We start each morning with a class review of current work as I critique and provide helpful comments. Our students have an open mind and look forward to new and exciting painting avenues. I hope you will join us. This is an ongoing weekly class with the development of individual skills over time. Sometimes there may be homework to help in the artistic growth and development.  At times we may explore…. Mixed Media, Collage, Materials, Color Mixing, Brush Strokes, Acrylic Mediums, Gels and Pastes, Importance of Underpainting, Palette Knife vs Brushes, Lot to a Little Design Concepts.
