This class is suitable for beginners 
 

Acrylics are a wonderful versatile medium that can be used in a huge variety of ways – watercolour style; thick and luscious like oil paint; layered and combined with other media….and anything in between!
 

It is a very forgiving medium – if you don’t like something just paint over it - great for complete beginners and experienced artists alike.
 

Ahead of a brand-new series we have coming soon, we’re starting off with the absolute basics in this session.  We'll be covering tools, materials, and colour mixing. There will be colour exercises to learn to use the primaries – which can appear very brash in acrylics. We will also discuss basic mediums & brushes – what to buy and how to use them.
 

We will explore harmonious and complementary colours, transparency and opacity, using thick paint and thin, and working in layers to take advantage of the fast drying time of acrylics. This will create a little reference library of acrylic techniques for you to use in future projects, enabling you to paint with confidence!
 

We will work through a range of exercises in a relaxed & informative way – feel free to work along or sit back, relax and watch the demos.
