Painting with acrylics is rewarding, versatile and fun.  Native Oklahoma artist Thomas Stotts will teach his personal techniques used to create the unique landscapes and structures in his paintings. Through instructor demonstration, lecture, individual instruction and practice,  you will learn the characteristics of acrylics, composition, perspective, distance, depth, light, shadows and color. Learn to manipulate the paint brush in varied ways to gain new painting effects and  work with acrylic “washes” to create a “dreamy, atmospheric” look that is very popular!  Whether a beginner or intermediate artist, you will enjoy growing as an artist in this class.
