Modern Folk Art Painting: Acrylics on Wood with local artist Michelle Hamilton

Private art class for groups

Whimsical, colorful and full of personality are just a few words to describe Michelle Hamilton’s style of painting and teaching! This custom session will be chock full of color & character, so bring your imagination and sense of humor to this one!

In this session, you will be working alongside a visual muse to inspire your ideas and images, as you learn to create with acrylic paints on a wood panel. Michelle will first guide you with how to build up a “roughed up/ rustic background” using layers of paint with a and tools that add textures, marks, shapes, lines, etc to create an interesting backdrop.

You’ll then be invited to create a character, scene or image that brings you joy, working from a rough sketch (no drawing talent needed!). From there, you will begin bringing your unique piece of art to life.

You’ll take home your creation and a very fun memory!

This experience is designed to be beginner-friendly. All materials are included.

Oh and folk art is meant to be imperfect … that is the fun part! Check your perfectionist at the door!

Images you see here are both Michelle’s pieces and student art.
