Art with acrylic paint is the focus for two new courses being run in Mangawhai that start next month.
Creative Acrylics is being run by Russian-born artist and Mangawhai Artists stalwart Elena Nikolaeva, and is aimed at students with any level of artistic experience, from beginner to pro.
Throughout the five-week course, participants will explore various acrylic painting techniques to develop their own artistic style.
The classes run on consecutive Thursdays and Fridays, starting July 6 and 7, from 9am to 12.30pm in Mangawhai, and the cost is $175 per person.
Nikolaeva attended the Urals State University of Fine Arts, Design & Architecture, where she later taught and gained an associate professorship in painting. She moved to Mangawhai in 2000, since then she has been a full-time artist and tutor.
She works with acrylics, watercolour, mixed media and sculpture and likes to encourage all students to widen their skills and techniques.
