Interested in learning to paint but can only draw stick figures? With Art Spot you’re in luck!
Master the fundamentals of acrylic painting in a structured, supportive environment! Over six weeks, you’ll explore:
✅ Color Theory & Mixing – using a limited palette
✅ Value – Bring depth to your work

No experience needed! Just bring your enthusiasm—we’ll provide the guidance.
We’ll have the lessons, inspiring studio space, and encouragement; you provide your art supplies (list below), willingness, and favorite bottle of wine (or beverage of your choice)

Classes are 2.5 hours long and begin Tuesday afternoon, January 20 and end on February 24 from 1pm-3:30pm
Class limited to 12 students and will require a minimum of 6 to be conducted.
Below are the supplies you’ll need for the class. You can also opt to have a kit ready for you at the first day of class for $100 (please email in advance to reserve your kit).
Guest teacher: Robin Deshayes
Supplies list (with links to amazon):
- Paintbrushes (for acrylic) I suggest at least 3 different sizes: a bright (size 10), bright (size 4) & round (size 2)–basically, big, medium and a small pointed brush 😉
- a palette (palette paper works well) or a “Sta-Wet palette” even paper plates
- acrylic paint in at least the 5 colors (red, blue, yellow, black & white–Liquitex Basics make a good starter paint set).
- 2- 8×10″ canvas panels and 1-16×20″ canvas to paint on…canvas board, wood panel, back-stapled or whatever you’d like to try
- Tabletop Easel (not necessary as you can borrow one from us, but if you plan to paint at home, I’d suggest an easel of some kind)
- a palette knife (not absolutely necessary, but definitely worth buying)
- pencil
