I was once a member of a painting class back in high school and I would say that it was one experience I would always remember. Apart from it being the case where I met my future husband, it opened me to the joy and excitement of painting. I took watercolor classes and was inspired at how much I can do with these brilliant colors in front of me. I had been a huge art fan since then.

The Pendleton Art Center in 1537 Winchester Ave., Ashland Kentucky holds an Acrylic Painting class for beginners. Young ones are encouraged to get creative as they are offered hands on classes that will maximize their potentials and work on their creative juices. If given an opportunity, I would love to have my own kid attend this class so she can enhance her creativity and her social skills.

Acrylic paints are types of paint that differ from eater color, though they are both water based. Water based paint is something that is soluble with water and can use water as a thinner. It is more often used in large canvas applications. Acrylics come off opaque although it can be thinned down by mixing drops of water into the paint. Solvents called as mediums can also be used to make acrylic more fluid without thinning the color unlike water.

Acrylic has chemical compositions that could dry quickly that are why it is important to place a few drops of water on it on a regular basis to retain its flow.

“Cheap” acrylic paints are handed over to the kids during beginners’ classes for them to work on. Cheap means, not the real branded acrylic paints. They are given wide sheets of paper to work on and be creative with. They are allowed to spread paint on the white sheet and not reprimanded if some went to their clothes or faces. These paints are water based and can be washed down with water after.
