In a single class, students will learn to create a textured background and will then learn to create a beautiful poppy on a 12x4 canvas panel using heavy textured acrylic paint, piping tips and palette knives. Whether you are a beginner or have experience with piping flowers, textured paints, or palette knife techniques, you will enjoy exploring this amazing medium, plus you’ll leave with beautiful, dimensional artwork.
While we welcome and encourage students to take creative liberties in all of our classes, we do want to note that this class’ focus is on creating the poppy in particular. We ask that students focus on poppy's in this workshop. (If interested in doing other subjects, we invite you to our Textured Acrylic workshops where students can work on other projects.)
