Let It Fall: Acrylic Painting Through Color, Chance & Discovery

Join artist and educator Jeff Olson for an energetic exploration of Amsterdam Standard Series Acrylics, where spontaneity becomes part of the creative process.  Through drips, splatters, transparent layers, expressive brushwork, and unexpected color interactions, discover how acrylic paint can surprise and inspire.  This demonstration explores ways to embrace chance, loosen up your approach, and build paintings filled with movement and atmosphere.  Whether you're returning to the studio after summer or looking for fresh creative momentum, you'll leave with new techniques and ideas to bring back to your own work.
