Deep Dive: The Art & Alchemy of Acrylics

An 8-Week Immersive Studio Experience at Vision Arts Gallery

(week 3: 4/11/2026)

Instructor: Jillian Tomkovich, Creative Director at Vision Arts Gallery

Step into a vibrant, inspiring studio environment and explore acrylic painting as both a technical medium and a powerful form of self-expression.

Deep Dive: The Art & Alchemy of Acrylics is an 8-week immersive course designed to build confidence, skill, and creative freedom through color, movement, texture, and intentional play. Guided by professional instruction in a supportive gallery setting, students will learn expressive acrylic techniques while discovering their own unique artistic voice.

This course balances structure with intuition. You’ll explore foundational skills like color theory, composition, and layering while experimenting with flow, texture, gesture, and abstraction. Each painting is developed over two sessions, allowing time to explore, refine, and confidently finish your work.

By the end of the series, students will leave with three finished, original acrylic paintings, each created on professional gallery-wrapped canvas, ready to hang and enjoy at home—along with the confidence and skills to continue painting independently.

Perfect for beginners and intermediate painters who are ready to learn, loosen up, and create with intention.

6-Week Pen & Ink Play Lab with Marlene Davis
Begins April 9 | Thursdays, 11:30 AM–1:00 PM (WEEK 1)

If you love bold lines, beautiful details, and the idea of drawing without an eraser—this class is for you.

In this 6-week Pen & Ink drawing class, artist and instructor Marlene Davis invites you to loosen up, trust your hand, and discover the expressive power of ink. Using pens, fine liners, and simple techniques, you’ll learn how lines, patterns, texture, and shading can bring drawings to life.

This class is perfect for beginners and returning artists alike. You’ll explore contour drawing, cross-hatching, mark-making, and playful experimentation—learning how “mistakes” often become the most interesting part of the artwork. Over 6 weeks, you’ll create a collection of finished drawings while developing confidence, style, and a stronger drawing foundation.

Pen & ink is immediate, meditative, and incredibly freeing. Come draw, laugh, experiment, and enjoy the beauty of black and white creativity in a supportive studio environment.

6-Session Watercolor Journey with Marlene Davis
Begins March 24 (WEEK 2)

Watercolor is a dance between intention and letting go—and in this immersive six-session class, artist and instructor Marlene Davis invites you to explore both.

Designed for beginners and those looking to deepen their skills, this class offers a relaxed, supportive environment where creativity can unfold naturally. Through guided instruction, live demonstrations, and gentle experimentation, you’ll learn essential watercolor techniques while developing confidence in your own artistic voice.

Over the course of five sessions, you’ll explore color mixing, brushwork, layering, transparency, and composition—learning how watercolor flows, blooms, and surprises in beautiful ways. You’ll create multiple finished pieces while gaining a deeper understanding of how to work with the medium rather than against it.

Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or returning to watercolor with fresh curiosity, this class is an invitation to slow down, trust the process, and enjoy the magic of paint and water.
