Join professional artist and certified art teacher Jennifer Burkin in exploring acrylic painting on canvas. Each week we will look at a painting by Henri Matisse to inspire the work we will do. The focus will be on mixing colors and applying them in an expressive manner. Much will be learned through experimentation. This is a supportive group setting for those interested in trying things out with paint. All supplies will be provided by the library and all levels are welcome, including beginners.
