Acrylic Painting: Tulips

What things do you typically think of as symbols of wealth? Probably fancy cars, mansions, expensive clothing, private boats, or maybe a golden toothbrush? Learn the crazy story of the people of the Dutch Golden Age, and what they considered to be a stamp of wealth and status like no other:

Tulips!

Learn about the incredible history of the tulip during the Tulip Craze in the 1600’s, what they meant to the Dutch, and their influence in art which can be seen to this day. We will discuss the particularly prized “Semper Augustus” tulip, and learn how to paint it using acrylics. Suitable for all skill levels, absolute beginner on up!

This is a fun class, with an easy painting demo and fascinating history that will ensure you never look at a tulip the same way again!
