Pastel Painting class at VCAC

Beginner to Intermediate Students Welcome!

Enjoy painting on canvas with professional grade acrylics in a relaxed, supportive environment. In this popular class, participants learn to mix colors on a palette and create depth in their still life and landscape paintings with special attention to light and shadow. Acrylic paints are a great alternative to oil paints as clean up is quick and easy with just soap and water.

Instructor Debra Gag has broad experience teaching a variety of media and techniques to adults and children. She has been a professional artist and art teacher with the Vernon Public Schools for 33 years. Her paintings and pottery have been exhibited in galleries and are in private collections. Debra creates a classroom environment where everyone feels free to develop new skills and to follow their inspiration.
