Using fluid acrylics, we will explore layering and glazing techniques. Marilyn is a well known mixed media artist and teacher that will facilitate how to work with acrylic glazes to create a wonderfully layered creation using stencils and other techniques.

You can work on canvas, or wood, or watercolor paper that has been covered with gesso.
