How to Paint

April 25, 2024 - May 16, 2024
Alabama Contemporary Art Center
301 Conti Street
Mobile, Alabama

Thursdays, 5:30 p.m. – 7 p.m.
Instructor: Colleen Comer

In this 4-week workshop, artist Colleen Terrell Comer introduces participants to the building blocks of visual art: mark making, composition and color. This course is structured to provide students with the skills and techniques necessary to create their own paintings and help develop their personal painting style. Comer will guide students through art movements/styles and break down techniques and historic context. (Ex. Impressionism, surrealism and abstract expressionism) Students should come with examples (on their phone or physical pieces) of the types of art that they like and are interested in. Students might finish with a completed painting but, more importantly, will have a better understanding of what makes a painting and how they can create their own.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced painter, enjoy a judgment-free environment that fosters experimentation and growth in your practice.

This workshop will meet each Thursday from April 25, to May 16, 2024 from 5:30 pm – 7 pm.

Registration is $175 or $145 for ACAC members
