What To Expect

Week 1: Acrylic Techniques Week 2: Underpainting Week 3: Focus on Dry Brushing Week 4: Personal Project MORNING CLASS: 10am to noon, Thursdays 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th November 2024 Bring some vibrancy and colour to those early winter mornings...Join me (Kelly) for a 4 week course November 2024 for a beginners guide to Acrylic painting. If you have always wanted to try painting with Acrylic but weren't sure where to start, then you're in the right place. They are such a versatile medium - dilute them like watercolours or use neat from the tube like oils...[with the added benefit of no lingering smell, and for a fraction of the price]. Acrylics are the unsung heroes in every artist's weaponry; that I'm hoping to champion. We'll start looking at most of the techniques and ways you can apply acrylics, moving on to underpainting and why we do it, followed by a whole lesson dedicated to Dry Brushing. Once you've got the feel for the breadth of Acrylic painting (and exactly what dry brushing means!!) you'll be raring to go with your own painting project that has been busting to get out, and each student will work towards a final piece under Kelly's watchful guidance. My hope, is that by the end of the 4 weeks you'll be confident using acrylic paints and happy to use them as your new, 'go-to' medium. Included in the course are all materials [paint, brushes, paper and final piece canvas]. Small class sizes of no more than 5 people. Course will run even if not full.
