Acrylic Paint & Create
Description
Curious about abstract painting but not sure where to start? Acrylic Paint & Create is a beginner-friendly acrylic painting workshop designed to help you feel comfortable, confident, and creative—no experience required.
This relaxed workshop introduces the basics of abstract acrylic painting, focusing on simple techniques, playful experimentation, and learning how to trust your instincts with paint. Using a still life as a starting point, instructor Bri Leslie will guide you step-by-step through the process, breaking everything down in an easy, approachable way. You’ll learn foundational skills like color mixing, layering, brushwork, and composition, all while being encouraged to explore your own artistic style.
There’s no pressure to be “perfect”—this workshop is about learning, experimenting, and enjoying the process. Come as you are, connect with others, and leave with a finished abstract painting you’ll feel proud to take home.
