Hybrid: In-Person or Virtual: The Old Barn Acrylic Painting with Michelle Savas Thompson 4/8
Thursday, April 8: 9 am-12 pm
Could anything be more reminiscent of Wisconsin? Take this opportunity to learn to build a painting from start to finish using different techniques, mixing values, and brush strokes in a step by step manner. Students may use the artist's photo or bring in one of their own of a barn to work from. This hybrid class allows for an in-person option at the CCC and a virtual option via Zoom. All supplies are included for in-person students; a digital reference image and supply list will be made available for virtual students.
In-Person Class Fee: $43 CCC Members / $52 Non-Members
Virtual Class Fee: $32 CCC Members / $39 Non-Members
