FALL 'B' Session: Mondays 6pm-8pm
Oct. 20, 27
Nov. 3, 10, 17, 24
Classes are two hours and run for six weeks. We will explore acrylic painting techniques such as underpainting, wet-to-wet blend, dry brush, glazing, etc. No experience necessary. $125 is the full price for this 6-week course. If you prefer, you can choose to make a $60 deposit (go back to "classes" menu) and then pay the balance in person on the first day of class. (Supplies not included. See Supply LIst)

Local Stores:
Supplies can be purchased from Jerry's Artarama (highly recommended!), Michael's, and Hobby Lobby. Some, but not all, items are available at Wal-Mart.
Online Retailers:
Students usually spend less using an online retailer. I recommend the following:
- Jerry's Artarama: www.jerrysartarama.com
- Dick Blick Art Supplies: www.dickblick.com
- Cheap Joe's Art Stuff: www.cheapjoes.com
Student Grade vs. Professional Grade:
The basic rule when deciding between "student" or "professional" grade products is to buy the best that you can afford. The phrase "You Get What You Pay For" is very true with art materials, especially with paint and brushes.
Talk to your instructor if you have questions.
