Working in any painting medium (acrylic, oil, pastel) students should bring in something that is already started (and maybe needs some guidance) or begin a new project. Students will get very individualized assistance as they work on completing their vision. Drawing on many years of painting experience in a wide range of mixed media, instructor Diane Firtell will help each student get their image onto the canvas and work through any obstacles on to completion. There will be some group discussion to encourage experimentation and the use of a variety of materials.

(In the event that BAC has to cancel a class due to weather or facility emergencies, please note the pre-scheduled make up will be Saturday, April 19. More information on our policies for cancellations can be found HERE.)

CLASS MATERIALS

Students should bring their own materials for the medium in which they plan to work.

ACCESSIBILITY

NOTE: This class will be held in Berkshire Art Center’s 2D Studio at Citizens’ Hall, Stockbridge. Our 2D Studio is located on the main level of the building, which is accessible via a ramp from the parking lot. In addition, restrooms are located on the basement level of our building so stair use is also required.

For all classes held at Citizens’ Hall in Stockbridge, please note our historic building has narrow doorways and is not equipped with an elevator. Our bathrooms, ceramics studio, and 3D studio are accessible via stairs only. We welcome and make every effort to accommodate learners of all styles and abilities. Please contact us if you have questions about accessibility to our building and classes before registering!g!
