Margaret “Peggy” Stanton leads an ongoing series of acrylic painting workshops for artists of all levels.

Each three-hour class is a hands-on painting session where participants learn to approach their painting process with a new awareness and understanding of color dynamics and composition.

Participants begin their first session with a 16-by-20-inch canvas.

Stanton helps artists to heighten and accentuate their own unique vision with bold colors, lines and shapes. With important tips about acrylic paints and mediums, artists create a painting on canvas using a more immediate and intuitive process. She guides artists on “painterly” ways to put on the finishing strokes. Stanton also offers individual instruction for artists during each session.

The next “Painting with Peggy” acrylic painting classes are from noon-3 p.m. Oct. 3 and Nov. 14. The cost for each session is $20 or $15 for VAC members. Student supply list is available online or by calling VAC at 967-8222.

Students must bring their own supplies and easels, and a piece to show the group (optional). No previous experience needed. Bring your joy of discovery and sense of adventure.

The Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus is located at 19-4074 Old Volcano Road in Volcano Village.
