Create, Connect, Age Well: Fall Sunflower Painting

About this event

Create a vibrant sunflower painting that reflects the beauty and warmth of the season! You will begin your painting with a black canvas. From there, you’ll work step by step to layer colors and build a vibrant and warm bouquet of sunflowers. You will learn foundational acrylic painting skills, including color mixing, layering, brushwork, and composition. This class is great for beginners as those who already have a little painting experience. You’ll learn tips and tricks that can translate into future paintings, and will walk away with your own, unique, ready-to-hang sunflower painting to brighten your home.
