Course description

In this 10-week course participants will learn the basics of painting with acrylic, using the landscape as a starting point toward creative expression. The fundamentals that will be covered include perspective, composition, and color-mixing. Participants will engage with others in creative exercises and discussion, all while building toward an end goal of exhibiting a finished painting in our final class exhibition at Artlink.

This activity is made possible in part by the Indiana Arts Commission, which receives support from the State of Indiana and the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Indiana Family and Social Services Administrations Division of Aging.

Artlink is partnering with instructor, Ellen Mensch as the host location for this course and final exhibit.
