Introduction to Acrylics

This Acrylic Painting course will encourage participants to develop their skills by focusing on the colour wheel and understanding colour schemes and relationships in the beginning.

Our subject matter will be a still life, and depending on each participant’s prior experience you will be guided to observe the geometric and organic shapes from your subject matter. The tutor will seek to encourage individual solutions for each student.

This will enable students to develop their observational ability whilst enjoying a fun and relaxed environment.
