Studio 208 | Courage & Curiosity, introduction to acrylics with deb menkenAn opportunity to learn all the great reasons to use acrylics, some tips and tools, a bit of colour theory, how to mix your own colours, keep your paints from drying out, paint without a brush and follow your curiosity using a good dose of courage. All this will happen in a sketchbook. This is to encourage play and experimentation rather than creating a finished masterpiece!
