The Acrylic Landscape​
About Kevin
Picture
Further Detail
Working with fast-drying acrylic paints, the day will be spent painting landscapes in a loose and lively way, eliminating as much detail as possible whilst still retaining the essence of the scene. We will be looking at a less traditional approach to painting, concentrating on mood and atmosphere. This is an opportunity to experiment with exciting colour schemes whilst developing your own personal style of painting. The course will be a fun and light-hearted approach to the possibilities of this versatile medium.
