My classes will focus on two of my favourite mediums- acrylic paints and water colours, each having its own distinctive properties, different painting techniques and overall a different feel. In my classes, I will walk you step by step on how to paint with these two mediums. I am a big believer in hands on learning so instead of just talking you through we will actually create a bunch of paintings all incorporating different skills, from simple to more complex. Let’s get started.
During this one month course, you will learn the basics of acrylic painting, colour mixing, creating
geometric backgrounds, colour blending, layering and so on. If you’re a beginner and want to learn
