During this 3-week series, students will learn the basic rules, techniques and principles of painting with acrylics. Starting from laying down a wash of color, blocking in basic forms, and then further refining the painting with colors and details. The class will cover value, tone, as well as the basics of color theory. The goal of this class is to help you develop confidence in painting and give you the tools and skills to continue painting on your own.

Understanding how to apply painting fundamentals and methods can help create an approachable and enjoyable style of painting as you learn how to paint in an efficient way. Students will paint the subject matter displayed in the class picture (which will often be either a still-life or landscape) from beginning to end with hands-on guidance from our instructor.

This particular acrylic painting program will focus on a still-life of peppers. In understanding how to approach this particular painting you’ll learn transferable skills to painting other still life paintings in the future.

Note for Returning Acrylic Painting Students:
If you have taken an acrylic painting program with us before, please note each program will focus on a different subject matter. We will refresh upon the basics you previously learned and modify the project or approach to further build upon your skills and experience.

All materials are included.
