Meeting at Cape Coral Art League

Butterfly Box (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.

  • Turpinoid Natural by Martin Weber
  • Any Krylon product
Have you every painted in 3-dimensions? 
You may have used acrylic colors before to create a canvas painting or to decorate a surface, but in this project you will create a box that will host a 3-dimensioal butterfly on the lid!Our “watercolor-resistent” members will love the new way Suzanne will use watercolor paper – but with NO watercolor! Everything will be done with regular acrylic paint…

Acrylics are so versatile and this acrylic project is amazing. Suzanne Mikulka, CDA is amazing, too. She has a way of making projects fun and helping you to paint better than you ever thought you could.

Share this cool project with your friends and guests. BRING A GUEST to the meeting.   GUESTS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME   Snowbirds are missing out on one bodacious project!
