Expressive Acrylic Painting: Unleash Your Creativity!

Join us for a dynamic and liberating painting experience in our Expressive Acrylic Painting class, where we’ll dive into the world of vibrant colors, bold brushstrokes, and limitless imagination. This class encourages you to break free from the constraints of realism and embrace a more expressive, intuitive approach to art.

Drawing inspiration from renowned artists like Emily Carr and the Group of Seven, to Jean-Michel Basquiat, we’ll explore a wide range of techniques that focus on emotional and personal expression rather than exact representation. Whether you’re painting the energy of a landscape or the raw emotion of abstract art, you’ll learn how to create without the need to stick to true-to-life color schemes or exact proportions.

This class is all about discovering your unique artistic voice, using acrylic paints to bring your ideas to life in vivid, unexpected ways. Experiment with thick layers, dynamic brushwork, and playful color choices that reflect your own inner world. No prior experience is required—just bring your passion and your willingness to explore!
