32. Acrylic Painting Classes at Michael's -- Anyone Can Be An Artist!

Other posts about my time working with Grumbacher and Michael's can be found at posts 52, 46, 34, 33, 32 and 31 and on Bob's website here.

Michaels Arts and Crafts Stores are offering fine art classes hosted by Graumbacher, a leading brand in American manufactured paints, and they have asked me to to be their instructor to lead you through the basics of starting and completing a painting you can hang on your wall.  Join us for 2 hours of fun-filled creativity. Choose between a lovely landscape painting or a fine floral painting.  Just $27 per class + supplies. Register at one of the stores below and receive your supply list!

The landscape (above, left) and the floral painting (below, left) are 9x12's and are examples of the paintings we'll be creating. Click on images to enlarge.
