Brought to you by the Grosse Pointe Artist Association:

Join artist Valerie Allen for a two-day workshop using the power of process to create paintings in acrylics.

As a Certified Working Artist for Golden Paints, Val will bring an array of acrylic products including colors, gels, pastes and other mediums for you to use, offering you the opportunity to explore the versatility of acrylic products and increase your confidence in painting abstractly. 

Working on 12”x12” panels that will be provided for you, Val will motivate you with demos and discussions on developing your visual language through intuitive mark-making, telling your authentic story with art, and cultivating your spirit of adventure with each painting. 

You will be working on three projects simultaneously within an agenda which Val carefully planned to allow drying time for the thicker applications of gels and pastes.

A lunch break is scheduled each day at 1:30pm for an hour. You can use the time as you wish.

Here is the exciting news!

The workshop includes all new projects for 2025.

So, if you've taken Val's class before, you are in for new material. The timeline is fast-moving with opportunity for question-and-answer sessions each day. All paints, gels and panels will be provided.

Beginner artists thru advanced artists are invited.
