OSH 901-31 I SCHEDULE SESSION SPRING BEGINNING & INTERMEDIATE ACRYLICS Mondays | 1:00 – 2:45 pm | Art Room | January 28, February 4, 11, 18, 25 Five Sessions $90

Painting with acrylics can be great fun. Painting is to be enjoyed, not endured. Acrylics are easy to use mainly because they are water soluble, and are not encumbered by numerous technical rules, as are oils. Acrylics allow the artist to jump in and push the medium to its limits. Come and experience the fun, ease and lack of boundaries this medium and class offers. There will be time in class to work on your projects where you will receive assistance and weekly critiques. For a list of suggested supplies, please contact the OLLI office. You will be painting in the first class. NOTE: This class is geared towards those who are new to the medium, as well as artists of different levels who have not painted for a while. Jim Brennan is a native Floridian. He graduated with a BA in Humanities from Florida Atlantic University where his focus was on art and architecture. Jim is a teacher and an award-winning artist in acrylics, watercolor, metal sculpture and wire sculpture mediums. His work has been featured throughout Miami, Palm Beach, Winter Park and Tampa.
