acrylic painting class


I recently started an acrylic painting class at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education, shocking, I know as I am pastel-girl. Having worked with pastels for so many years, this new exploration has been challenging, but it is my expectation that working in another medium will open up some new avenues creatively and for my business. SO......with all that in mind, I registered for a class which meets two days per week with teacher extrodinaire, Phil Press. I took drawing with him several years ago and knew he had a teaching style that was constructive without being intrusive. That is to say, he is there to guide you along in your own direction, but does not stand over your shoulder while you work. As an added bonus, the other students in the class are serious about painting and often take time to comment on the work of others in a supportive way. It's a wonderful environment and I already know it will prove very valuable to me going forward. Stay tuned.........
