SUMMARY:Intro to Acrylics – Materials\, Light & Shadow
DESCRIPTION:Curious about acrylic painting but not sure where to begin? Join teaching artist Kim Cesaretti for a hands-on introduction to acrylics designed specifically for adult beginners! \nIn this inspiring four-hour workshop\, you’ll explore the essentials— \nhow to choose and use your materials\, how acrylic paint behaves\, and how to use light and shadow to bring your paintings to life. \nYou’ll start with simple\, guided exercises to create a value scale\, learn to see light and dark patterns\, and practice shading a sphere to achieve depth and volume. \nThen\, you’ll apply your new knowledge in a finished black-and-white painting of a spherical object—such as an apple\, orange\, or ball—focusing on how light defines shape and space. \nPerfect for beginners\, this workshop helps you build a strong foundation in observation\, value\, and brushwork that will support every painting you create in the future. \nTuition:  $55 (member)/$65 (non-member) \nhttp://www.pineshoresartassociation.org \neducation@pineshoresartassociation.org \n6095973557 \n
