Acrylic Painting: In the Style of Gustav Klimt taught by Jana Komaritsa
August 11 @ 10:00 am – 12:30 pm CDT
Gustav Klimt was an Austrian artist, with a unique and recognizable style. He is one of the most well-known contributors to the development of Art Nouveau movement. In this class we will learn about this style and create a painting with acrylics. We will also learn how to apply gold leaf (imitation) which will add extra brilliance to the painting. (Using gold leaf is optional).
We will be painting “The Kiss”. If you would like to paint another painting, please consult with the instructor up to one week before the class.
ZOOM details will be emailed to registrants prior to the class.
