CLASS DESCRIPTION
Acrylics are a fun and versatile medium and a great place to start for anyone who wants to learn how to paint in general. We’ll Start the class all producing paintings from the same photograph of a good composition of the most common subjects: still life, Landscape, seascape etc. The instructor will demonstrate and help students learn the principle of acrylic painting brush strokes, color mixing, perspective and layering. Later in the course, students will choose their own photographic references and will learn how to enlarge and reproduce the composition onto canvas which they will then be able to paint.
