2024.6.21. Painting workshop

6/21. A free event in the Summer Series by Shunpike, at 2+U. A lady from Brown Girl Charcuterie brought beautifully packaged snacks and non-alcoholic drink. The artist teaching the class today is Marisol Ortega. She prepared acrylic paints, fresh paint bushes of 3 different sizes, cups of water and napkins to clean. Easel and stretched canvus for us. She also prepared a print with a flower/vase design outlined in pencil for us to reference. Maybe about 10 participants. All women. Later, a guy came, mainly letting his 2 young daughters play with colors, also advertising an event next weekend. This is my first time using acrylic. Feels like oil. It drys quite fast. My final result is quite ugly. I'm unable to draw anything from memory/imagination.
