The Acrylic open studio is a great way to continue practicing Acrylic painting techniques taught in my 6-week Learn to Paint classes or weekend workshops.  These techniques include layering, glazing, dry brushing, varnishing, adding texture and planing compositions with drawings and transfers.  Bring in your ideas and a blank canvas, your half-finished projects that have you baffled, your reference photos, and your art supplies.  I will have anything you might have forgotten and will be on hand to help you face the hurdles along the way of finishing a painting.
