Introduction to Acrylics

During this 12-week course, we’ll be looking at the qualities of acrylic paint. Through painting simple landscapes and other subjects, we’ll be mixing different colour schemes, portraying form, depth, light and shadow. With step-by-step demos and guidance throughout. Beginners welcome.
