This all-levels acrylic workshop focuses on combining brushwork, palette knife and using glazing to create transparent layers.

Students will learn: 

  • color mixing with atmospheric relationships
  • importance of value (lights and darks) to create perspective & form
  • layering paint
  • using simple acrylic mediums and texture building to create depth and movement 

Step by step demonstrations and guided practice provide a structured yet relaxed learning environment suitable for both beginners and experienced painters who want to “loosen up” and have fun!

Although paint, use of brushes and palette knives, practice paper and canvas are all provided by the teacher for this workshop, students are encouraged to bring along their favorite brushes, palette knives and work surfaces if you want to make multiple paintings. One canvas will be completed as a group in class, using teacher’s reference ideas or bring your own if preferred.

👉 For students that wish to try glazing, please bring Liqutex Glazing Medium
