The Cedarburg Cultural Center

An artist really learns to paint when given the freedom to let go of a subject and the expectations of a single painting. This class will help students do this through repetition and technique. Painting the same subject more than twenty times, students will learn experimentation and will be challenged to find ways to rediscover the subject. The uses of acrylic paint will be covered as part of the journey. Group discussion and individual critique will guide students development and creation of a strong series.
