INSTRUCTOR: Kat Collins
Description: Acrylic Painting for Absolute Beginners is a welcoming, hands-on workshop designed for individuals with little to no prior painting experience. Led by professional abstract painter Kat Collins, the class offers a supportive, pressure-free introduction to acrylic paint, focusing on understanding materials, color, and foundational techniques.
Registration Required.
Participants will learn how acrylic paint behaves, explore basic color mixing, experiment with brushwork and texture, and complete a simple, atmospheric painting by the end of the session. The emphasis is on exploration, confidence-building, and creative discovery rather than perfection or technical mastery.
This workshop is ideal for first-time painters, curious creatives, and anyone interested in exploring painting in an approachable, encouraging environment.
All supplies provided. Participants will leave with their completed painting.
Price is inclusive of a $3 processing fee
