Unexpected Paintings: The Back Story

Join us for an experimental painting workshop. We will be working in acrylics on acetate, discovering the unexpected paintings that appear as a result. This mysterious process is actually quite simple and, although not archival in nature, the finished works can be enjoyed as your process is revealed. No prior painting experience necessary.

Supplies provided:
The instructor will provide the acetate

Supplies to bring:
Participants should bring an array of acrylic paints and a number of brushes, as well as lunch. Students should also bring a number of source materials such as photographs.

Students can also bring their own materials; paint must be acrylic.
