People often get overwhelmed about how to approach painting at the beginning (“where do I start??!!), and find that initial efforts to use acrylics produce discouraging results, after using water to thin out colour mixtures. Alexandra takes the intimidation out of the process, starting with a  step – by step demonstration on interpreting subject matter and how to express it on canvas. Using a very simple still life set up, she will show how to add acrylic “Matte Medium” to paint colours instead of water, which slows down the drying time of acrylic, and enables a wide range of effects and ease of brush-work, similar to oil painting.   Basic colour mixing tips are covered throughout this beginners’ class, and participants will complete their own artwork on canvas by the end of the day.
