    Join us for another Acrylic Painting Class! We are highlighting Lillian Thomas Burwell, a prominent black painter and sculptor renowned for her use of abstraction in her artwork. Her painting “Joy” showcases this interest in the abstract, while also conveying serenity through organic shapes and brushstrokes. Students in this class will learn basics of color mixing in this almost monochrome palette, as well as how to use a reference photo to replicate images on canvas. Each student will leave with a completed 16×20 painting on canvas, ready to hang at home. This class is suitable for all levels of acrylic artist.

    All supplies included. This is a step-by-step class, so please arrive on time! Late arrivals may miss steps that can't be revisited.

    Ages 14 and up. 

    Instructor: Karen Hayes
    This class will be held in the Pavilion, in the building adjacent to the Lake Mansion. Park in our free lot off Arlington Avenue and walk up the stairs, the Pavilion is on your right.
