Frida Kahlo Acrylic Painting with Sylvia Gortz

Friday, Sept. 11, 2026 | 1:00 - 3:00pm

Join us for a creative and colorful Gouache Painting class where we will create a whimsical Frida Kahlo-inspired portrait with your own unique artistic twist. Students will learn the basics of working with gouache, including color mixing, layering, brush techniques, and how to simplify facial features while adding expressive details and imaginative elements. The class will begin with a brief introduction to Frida Kahlo's iconic style, and guided instruction throughout the painting process. Individual assistance will be provided to help students personalize their artwork and develop their creative confidence. All supplies are included, and each student will take home a completed Frida portrait. ALL LEVELS WELCOME!

Registration closes when workshop is full!
