Milton Art Center story – adult painting to take place Oct 5, 2021

Location: Milton Art Center, 334 Edge Hill Rd, Milton, MA 02186

Class Experience
 In this class we will learn the basics of acrylic painting through color, observation and practice. Each class will start with a lesson and demonstration, and dedicate the rest of the time to painting. We will begin with understanding the color wheel and the temperature of light to create atmospheric images. Lessons can be structured around the interests of the students. This class is recommended for anyone who wishes to learn about painting or have a weekly painting session.

* Buy a pack (or 2) of brushes that seems varied. I like using both Flat and
Round brushes. No need to buy expensive singular brushes.

up. The white or gray paper is good.  
* Will give recommendations for at home palettes in class.

* A pack of 4 16”x20” canvases will be great for in class painting. If
interested, you can also try panels which are wood surfaces for painting.
