Description:

Whether you are just beginning or looking to broaden your experience with acrylics, please join us for a one day workshop on acrylics using spring florals for inspiration! In this class, attendees will create their own daffodil inspired painting (or other floral if desired but the instruction will focus on a daffodil example). The instructor will provide guidance, demonstration, and a finished example while working through the painting process with participants. Elyse will share her techniques and offer advice and feedback to students during the informal session.

The goal of this class is for participants to feel more comfortable working with acrylics and to take home a completed painting of their very own. While the instructor’s style and work are the basis for the class, participants will be encouraged to explore their own artistic style with their floral artwork.

About the Instructor: Elyse Laurelle is an artist/educator at the Co-Creative Center in downtown New Bedford, MA. She is an adjunct University Professor, serves as the MAC’S Art Start and All Things Art Program Director. She lives in Mattapoisett with her son, Luke.
