Learn to get more realism in your paintings, whether you are a beginner or just want to reach a higher plateau in your current work. In this four week series, instructor Larry Charles will spend two mornings teaching acrylic painting and two mornings teaching oil painting.

First the instructor will demonstrate a painting technique, then you will paint the same artwork as he guides you step by step through the creative process. Topics include color mixing, composition, tonal values, and shading.

And, unique to the Valley, the Holland Center provides all the paints and canvases you’ll need in your registration fee.

SERIES DATES: March 4, 11, 18, and 25
