Plate (Acrylic)

with Suzanne Mikulka, CDA

Student Artist highly allergic!

Due to a student artist with a serious allergy to certain painting products, we are asking that you refrain from bringing these with you into the classroom.

  • Any Krylon product

Suzanne Mikulka, CDA

So you’ve always wanted to be able to do stroke work!  Connect to the past as you paint stylized flowers and leaves and add strokes and linework.

“Flowering,” a term used in the 19th century, was used to decorate tin work from Pennsylvania and New England.

There is no better place to learn than from a master like Suzanne with her amazing techniques. She can lead you through choice of brushes, consistency of your paint, and probably, most important of all, how to load your brush…

Suzanne is not only a master at painting strokes, she is a master at teaching, too. Stroke work is a great tool to add to your painting skills.

This design is shown on a plate but would be equally at home on a barstool, a tray, a placemat or a lazy susan. If you want to admire your handiwork often, maybe a clock face would be a good surface, too.

You are welcome to bring a guest to share in this wonderful program. 

GUESTS ARE WELCOME!
