Hare's Mystery- A 3 Week Acrylic Workshop with Marcia Aftimus
This 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.

About the Event
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
Wednesdays. April 29th, May 6th & 13th, 2026
