Paula Beaulieu's Connect with Your Creativity Art Workshops For Adults

Art Workshops for Adults

Have you always wanted to learn how to paint or learn how to draw? Or are you interested in exploring other artistic forms of visual expression such as printmaking or sculpture? Even if you aren't new to art, you can fine tune your skills by learning some new painting tips or techniques. Whatever your atistic desires, Paula's supportive art workshops have something for everyone.

What students are saying:

"This program opened me up to a new way of thinking. Not only did Paula change my belief that I could not draw, she opened up a world of creativity that had been shut off from me . She is fantastic."

"The most valuable part of this program were the high levels of instruction, support, and feedback. Paula is a master teacher!"

To Register: Contact Paula at 978-744-8550.

In this hands-on two night workshop, we will discuss how to mat and frame your paintings to make them really sing and then actually come away with some framed work ready to hang. For the first night, we will concentrate on learning best practices for color selection of mats and frames and choices for materials. We'll also learn some shortcuts that will save you time and money and what hardware to use and how to attach it to your frame. I'll frame a piece from start to finish for you and then on the second night, you'll bring all your materials, and I'll
help you frame some of your pieces. At the end of the two nights , all the mystery of framing will be gone.
