Discover the Versatility of Acrylics!
Dive into the endless possibilities of acrylic painting in Acrylic Adventures! This hands-on class explores the versatility of acrylics, guiding you through a variety of techniques to create distinct styles of art. You’ll discover how acrylics can imitate the fluidity of watercolor, the richness of oil, and the boldness of abstract art.
Throughout the course, you’ll create:
A luminous “watercolor” landscape on paper
A classic still life on canvas
A vibrant abstract on hardboard
Each project is designed to teach essential techniques like glazing, blending, and texturing, while allowing you to develop your own artistic style. Whether you're new to acrylics or looking to expand your skills, this class will inspire and empower your creative journey!
