ACRYLIC painting foundations WITH LOUISE CHRISTENSEN
WHAT TO EXPECT
During this class students will learn all of the most pertinent painting fundamentals in a fun, creative and informative environment. This isn’t your typical High-School Acrylics class — We’ll deep dive: using professional materials, applying fascinating techniques, color mixing, and so much more. This class is the perfect way to start your painting journey off on the right foot.
All skill levels are welcome and no prior experience is required! However, we do recommend first enrolling in our Crash Course if you have never used acrylics before.

About the Instructor
Hi friends, my name is Louise. I've spent my entire life creating and art has always been my greatest love. My background is in portrait work, but overtime I've learned that my true passion lies within art curriculum planning and teaching. I have taught hundreds of classes to just about every age and loved it.
Throughout my years of teaching and managing art spaces, I’ve found that working with children has been particularly rewarding for me. There is nothing more fulfilling than curating special art experiences that I would have loved myself as an art kid. I believe all children possess a unique, creative voice innately, and I love to encourage my students to channel that individuality through art within my classes. I like experimenting with all different kinds of materials and making sure to always provide a safe space for my students.
I grew up here in Utah and am so excited to continue building enriching art classes within my local community. I cannot wait to create with you all!
