202-Intro to Acrylics

Designed for all skill levels, this class will focus on teaching various acrylic techniques through nature-inspired themes, allowing participants to develop their own artistic style while painting serene waterscapes, landscapes, and atmospheric skies.  Each session will begin with a demonstration of the day’s techniques, followed by hands-on instruction as participants work on their paintings. The final session will focus on creative freedom, allowing participants to use the techniques they’ve learned to develop a personal, nature-inspired artwork. Individual guidance will be provided throughout the class to ensure that each student feels supported in their creative journey.

 

Note: There is no class on 4/14.

About the Instructor

Aprajita Lal

I am Aprajita Lal, a self-taught artist based in New Jersey, United States. Painting, for me, is an ode to nature—an expression of its infinite beauty and diversity.  I have been fortunate to have my art featured in solo shows such as "Rays of Hope'' at Nomadworks NYC, "Calm in Wilderness" and "Nature's Symphony" in New Jersey.  I am glad to have been featured by "Creative Artist" magazine, "Canvas Rebel" and a couple more.  Through my workshops and classes, both in-person and online, I am dedicated to helping individuals of all ages tap into their creative potential.  Join me on this journey as we celebrate the beauty of the natural world through the power of art.
