In this course you will be introduced to many elements of what it takes to make a painting, from the type of paint, brushes and paper, to working with paint using different effects. The cost is $100 + hst and includes all your paint, brushes and paper. If you wish to create your final painting on a stretched canvas, it is up to the student to purchase it. We will discuss this in class.

Class Feedback

"I really enjoyed and learned a lot from Sylvie on my 2 introductory paint classes. Sylvie’s knowledge and passion for art is evident as soon as you enter her art studio. I look forward to many more classes with Sylvie. Thank you Sylvie you are an amazing art teacher." Regards Jack Vanderwerf.

​"I have difficulty relaxing but discovered that Sylvie's classes are very relaxing! Plus you learn a creative skill." - Deb 

"I have thoroughly enjoyed Sylvie's "Learning To Paint With Acrylics" class. She is a talented artist and a great teacher. Her studio is lovely and very well equipped. Lots of techniques were covered and there was enough time in class to apply what we learned. I highly recommend checking out one of her classes. I know this is the first of many for me!! - Jude

​"The studio is peaceful with plenty of light and amazing views. Sylvie provides clear information and demonstrates as we go. The blending class was an aha! moment when I finally understood shadows & highlights. I now see how to give my paintings depth." - Kathleen
