Let's Paint!




Join me at the Winterville Cultural Center for my next beginner-friendly acrylics course, designed to help you develop your skills in this vibrant and versatile medium. Focused on capturing realism in paint, we’ll explore techniques of using light and shadow, color theory (warm vs. cool), layering, and brushwork to help bring your paintings to life. Through both in-class subjects and your own photo references, you’ll tackle progressively more challenging projects that will refine your ability to paint what you see.
This class is a continuation of ‘Basics of Acrylics’, but beginners and acrylics-newbies are welcome!
