Choose a canvas, grab some acrylics, and have fun with paint!

Acrylic paints can be watered down to a transparent, watercolor-like state, or the colors can be layered on thickly. Acrylics are forgiving and can be easily be manipulated on canvas to make beautiful paintings or mixed media works.

1. Draw a simple outline drawing on a canvas (we have idea books and artists on hand to help)
2. Experiment with various colors of acrylic paint to come up with a palette you like
3. Paint the design on your canvas – relax and enjoy the feeling of putting color on a blank page
4. If you’d like you can add embellishments and ink outlines to create a multimedia piece
