Create your own masterpiece on an 11×14 canvas!

Join us for a relaxing 3-hour Acrylic Painting class where you’ll learn to paint a stunning view of aspen trees from below, bursting with vibrant fall colors.

We’ll start by creating a beautiful layered background of semi-blended autumn leaf tones. Once dry, you’ll carefully add in patches of sky that peek through the leaves. Next, we’ll sketch and paint the tree trunks from a unique upward perspective, followed by branches and trunk details to complete the scene. For an extra bit of magic, you can choose to add metallic highlights to your leaves, giving your painting a shimmering effect.

All skill levels welcome!
