The Center for Rural Development presents the second part of our eight-part painting series
Explore your creative side in The Center for Rural Development’s new painting series, “Your Own Painted Canvas – Where Fun Meets Art”.
The Center’s second “Your Own Painted Canvas – Where Fun Meets Art” class on June 25th will feature painting Quick Flowers using Basic Mixed Media: Acrylic and Ink. Attendees will be working with wet media throughout the process; creating natural blends and learning color.
Award winning instructor Jeremy Scrimager will guide you through creating your own version of the monthly featured painting. The Center will provide everything needed, along with the clean-up, so you can just show up and have a great time.
“I like the idea of working some art basics into each class to get folks comfortable with what it is they’re attempting to do. Folks will also gain some fundamental painting knowledge during the class,” said Jeremy Scrimager.
Each class will run from 6:30pm – 8:30pm and cost $35 per person. Participants must be over 12 years old to participate.
Registration will close 48 hours prior to class, with a limit of 30 people per class. If the class is full, please contact The Center at 606-677-6000 to be placed on a waiting list.
