Perfectionism is the enemy of creativity. In this easy-going, expressive acrylic painting workshop, you’ll be encouraged to make your mark—and own it. We’ll begin with a simple portrait format, where accuracy takes a back seat to truthful expression. You’ll discover how style and symbolism can speak volumes, and how a portrait can reveal just as much about the subject—and the artist—through how it’s painted, not just how it looks.This workshop is about trusting your instincts, owning your quirks, and letting go of comparison. No experience needed, every class is different so returning students are always welcome.

In this six-week art course for teens and tweens, students will be encouraged to expand their technical skills while embracing their individual style. Each week, we’ll explore influential artists, cultural trends, and current events as sparks of inspiration, showing that ideas can be found everywhere. Projects will introduce new tools and techniques—drawing, mixed media, 3D construction, and acrylic painting—while leaving room for personal interpretation and discovery. Even when starting from the same prompt, every piece will reflect each student’s unique perspective and voice. The goal is not only to refine artistic abilities but also to nurture confidence, curiosity, and trust in their own creative process. Above all, this class is about protecting the spark that makes every student unique while providing a strong foundation to explore, grow, and hone their skills—so they can become the fullest expression of the artist they already are.No experience needed, every class is different so returning students are always welcome.
