Class Experience
***Homeschooling and neurodivergent friendly*** In this one-time class, young artists will choose an acrylic painting class from my collection. I will provide a few options beforehand to see which ones they would like to paint. Learners may also send me a picture of a sunset/moonlight painting they would like to use as a reference. Make sure to submit it at least 2-3 days before class. Learners will practice painting beautiful, colorful sunsets or moonlight using a few colors. Learners will explore color mixing, blending, and brush techniques. My classes are designed with a caring touch to meet unique learning needs and make every step enjoyable and accessible. Young artists will receive one-on-one attention from a professional artist to help them improve their painting skills. We will focus on the creative process rather than the finished product so that learners can build their confidence in their creative abilities. Young artists will follow along as I demonstrate step-by-step instructions using an easygoing approach. Learners are encouraged to ask questions during class. This class is designed with beginners in mind. Young artists will learn basic acrylic painting techniques and apply these techniques to create their landscapes. This class can be booked for as little as one session or as many sessions as you would prefer. Siblings, cousins, or best friends can participate in the class for an additional $10 per person. Please let me know beforehand so I can create a separate class listing. ***Class may run longer depending on the painting. Please see the supplies list for the remaining materials. If you want a different day/time or you want to plan a virtual party, please message me with information about what you'd like to learn, the date/time you are interested in, and your time zone. I will create a private section for you and send you the link, plus a recommended supply list if needed.
Learning Goals
Young artists will practice mixing colors, blending, and exploring brush strokes.
