Service Description
Perfect for artists who enjoy working with a variety of materials and want to deepen their understanding of layering in mixed media. This 6-part winter series begins with dramatic contrast—white charcoal and chalk on black acrylic—and builds toward complex layering with a variety of mediums including acrylics, pastels, oils, and gold leaf. Each week introduces new techniques, guidance on sealing between layers, and creative ways to combine mediums while preserving the integrity of your work. A supportive and relaxed environment welcomes artists of all backgrounds who want to explore, experiment, and grow.
