Join us for a 8-week journey into the world of acrylic landscape painting! In this course, you’ll learn the essentials of working with acrylics, from mastering brush techniques to understanding color theory and composition. Our experienced instructor will guide you through breaking down the process of tackling a large canvas into simple and easy steps. The goal of this course is to take the intimidation of a large canvas away by creating a plan, and small steps towards the end goal of a finished piece. Each session follows a theme to focus on, please select a landscape of your choice that is focused on large skies and big open fields. Focused themes allow us to explore techniques on clouds, depth, atmospheric perspective and simple landscape forms together as a class. By the end of the session, you’ll have completed one large frame-worthy acrylic landscape. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your techniques, this course is designed to inspire and elevate your artistic journey.
