Welcome to A Love Letter to Tucson: Modern Style Acrylic Painting Class! Join us at Tucson Small Business Center on July 12 for a fun and creative in-person event. Let’s celebrate the beauty of Tucson through art! In this class, you’ll learn modern acrylic painting techniques while expressing your love for our vibrant city. No experience needed, just come with an open heart and a willingness to create. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with fellow art enthusiasts and show your love for Tucson on canvas. See you there!
Join artist Angela Soliz for a workshop in modern style acrylic painting. In this workshop you’ll learn about acrylic painting, brush techniques, composition, design principles, the rules of courageous creativity and color theory. Expect some spontaneous dance breaks, meditation and a lot of joy. All genders, abilities and levels of experience welcome. Participants will gain hands on experience with acrylic painting while engaging sensory motor skills, eye-hand coordination, creativity and visual thinking. Cultivate a deeper connection with self and intuition, build resilience and paint with acrylics. Open to people ages 8 to 100.
Let’s have an adventure. Acrylic painting is good for the heart and its good for the brain and its fun and low stakes. It’s an opportunity to get out of your head and into your body and practice creative courage and relax.
These classes are happening all summer long. Look for other dates at Groundswell Capital and Tucson Small Business Center, Tucson Country Club, The Dunbar Pavillion, Online, and The Drawing Studio. You can also request that your local public library host a class. In June I was at Murphy-Wilmot, Oro Valley and Ajo-Salazar public libraries, thanks to grant funding. More locations to come!
