Escape into the studio Fridays in March, and spend an hour painting in this multi-day class! Each week, a simple still life will be set up in the studio, and supplies for acrylic paints will be provided. Participants will receive some direction on composition, color theory, and techniques. However, students will be encouraged to explore and learn while making the painting unique for them. Molly Nelko will be there to answer any questions and guide you as needed. This class will be held on March 8, 15, 22, and 29 from 11 AM-12 PM. Registration covers all 4 days of this multi-day class, and students are provided with all supplies. This class will be located in Studio 2 which is located behind Rusty the big red dog on our campus. Look for the blue double doors in the Courtyard of Wonders! This class is open to ages 18 and up. There is a minimum of 3 participants and a maximum of 10. If the minimum is not met, participants will be refunded.  About Molly Nelko: A native of Mobile, AL, Molly Nelko has joined Kentuck’s staff as our Programming Assistant!
