Acrylic Painting Classes
At Michaels with Pam Miller
Pam is presently teaching NEW art classes at our Michaels in Peoria & Bloomington, IL hosted by Grumbacher, a leading brand in American manufactured paints.
You will learn many basic
techniques and take home a
completed masterpiece in a fun,
relaxed, creative class.
Pam has been enjoying teaching all levels of painters to create with acrylics for over 30 years.
She firmly believes that anyone
can paint if they so desire.

Poor Witch has had a trick played on her! She has to ride on Halloween night without a shoe or hat! Oh dear!
My new design is painted on RocLon room darkening drapery fabric* as a banner, but you could paint this fun project on wood,canvas or other fabric. It could be a wall plaque, a tray, on a boxtop, etc.

Do you want to learn how to paint?
How do the classes work?
Who can take the classes: Anyone (age 15 & up). You do not need any special talent or skills- just a desire to paint!
Signing up:
You do need to pre-register at Michaels for the class project/date/time you wish, in person.
You will pay the class fee at this time. Please register at least 24 hours or more before the class.
What does it cost?
Class fee is now $25 per each session. Supplies are extra.
Supplies:
Grumbacher has assembled a basic "kit" (which is cheaper than purchasing the items individually) available at Michaels.
It contains: 2 brushes, 2 9"x12" canvas boards, 4 regular size tubes of paint (which are used in most or all projects), a palette knife, a convenient
carrying case & a color chart. You may need to purchase separate tube(s) of paint & brushes, depending on the projects.
The kit will retail at $49.99 and you can use a coupon on it. You will receive a supply list for each project when you sign up for the class at Michaels.
***You are not required to purchase the kit or use these paints- but it will be easier if you do. I do like them. They are much less
expensive in the long run too! Students also receive 10% off all class supplies by showing the supply list & class tuition receipt at time
of purchase.
What will we paint? We will begin with landscapes, seascapes, still lifes or floral projects. We plan to complete these in one class session. Classes usually run 2-4 hours long.
***Painting begins at the time specified so please come a few minutes early and set up.

Remember: It doesn't take talent to paint- just a desire to try.
