This workshop is designed to enable painters to advance their abilities in working with acrylics as a medium.  Using demonstrations and brief exercises, I hope to provide attendees with beneficial knowledge on the strengths and versatility of acrylics.  Ranging from the use of mediums, to that of brushwork and building a composition, I intend to help students elevate their work in a confident, painterly manner.
