About the event
April 29 @ 1:00 pm – May 13 @ 4:00 pm
This acrylic workshop is about letting the image emerge from the unknown. We begin with a richly textured painted background. The “mystery” lies in the process. The final image slowly appears out of the background, as if it was always there waiting to be discovered.
I’ll be teaching a series of three acrylic painting classes called “Hare’s Mystery.”
The technique focuses on unveiling the background behind the final image. First, I’ll guide students in creating a textured, painted background. Then, we’ll use a semi-transparent mask to gradually reveal the final subject—in this case, the Hare That’s the “mystery”: the subject emerges from the background.
Material Included
- Acrylic paint
- Acrylic paint markers
- Trace paper with the floral design
Note: Students, please bring your round brush number 6 and 12 and white Charcoal pencil

Marcia Aftimus
I’m a visual artist from Brazil who recently moved to Canada, bringing with me the richness of international exhibition experiences and a deep belief in art as a path to inner transformation. My classes are created to guide the student to see beyond what the eyes can see, taking them to a space of stillness.
