Course Overview: Designed for beginners and painters looking to reconnect with the foundations of painting, this course explores acrylic painting through observation and experimentation. You’ll learn about colour mixing, paint application, composition and layering while developing confidence with this versatile medium. Beginning with first marks and simple exercises, you’ll gradually work towards more resolved paintings, with an emphasis on learning to look deeply and make creative choices that move beyond simply rendering what you see. Paint will be provided.

Skill Level: Beginner. Also suitable for painters looking to refresh their foundational skills.
