CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Learn the tips and tricks to make a painting of metal and glass look more realistic without being overly photographic. Acrylics' quick dry time can be frustrating for many, but Angela will take you through the steps to manipulate the paints and make it work for you.

In each 4-hour class, Angela will demonstrate how to paint a different subject of glass or metal. After each demo you will start on your own quick study that can be used to launch a bigger piece in the future!

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from this master of reflective surfaces!
