Come and learn the basics of how to paint with acrylics in Absalon.

In this course, you will learn basic techniques to paint with acrylic paint. We meet five Thursdays and each time focus on different topics within painting.

We will be painting both objects in still life and suggested motives to practice techniques, but you are also going to paint motives you decide yourself. Feel free to embrace the opportunity to work on personal projects, bring your ideas to life, and experiment with abstract forms.
