  • Acrylic Painting: ‘Brush Strokes in Time’

    Braintree Community Centre 19-21 Bocking End, Braintree, United Kingdom
    Art

    Art With Bianca. Inspired by the unique art of David Ambarzumjan, this workshop will teach you to create a "painting within a painting." You'll learn to use bold, expressive strokes and rich acrylics to peel back the layers of a scene, revealing a different time or place. Perfect for anyone looking to try a fresh and imaginative approach to painting. Forget conventional landscapes; we'll learn how to layer time itself onto the canvas, transforming a single scene into a powerful narrative. This is your chance to create a piece that tells a story.
