Acrylics - Intermediate/Advanced

Course Number: ARTS1270

This exciting course will provide inspiration through different approaches to acrylic painting while you develop your own personal style. It is a highly instructive course with lots of fun built in. Techniques for loose representational landscapes and glowing realistic florals will be part of daily demonstrations. Instruction will also touch on the abstraction of representational subject matter. Many tips will be given on how to get the most out of the versatile acrylic paints, with and without the addition of different mediums, and using different tools. Topics covered will include different colour palettes, selecting and cropping reference material, composition and perspective, soft blending and expressive brushwork, the importance of values and harmony, adding texture, painting alla prima, impasto techniques, glazing and much more. In a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with lots of one-on-one attention you will incorporate these skills into your own paintings using the reference pictures provided or your own photos.
