Class Title: Acrylic 101

Medium: Acrylic

Level: Beginning

Description:

Acrylics 101 continues with a deeper focus on foundational acrylic painting skills. New students are welcome, and returning students will continue developing their skills through guided instruction and hands-on practice.

Sessions build on the basics introduced in the first class, with continued exploration of brush control, layering techniques, blending, creating depth, and simple composition.

Ongoing emphasis is placed on mixing colors using only the primary colors to strengthen color awareness, confidence, and understanding of color relationships. Instruction is technique-focused, allowing students to learn, practice, and build skills without pressure to create a “perfect” finished painting.

Supplies:

Basic supplies will be available for first-time Acrylics 101 students.

Students attending this class as their second Acrylics 101 session are encouraged to bring their own acrylic paints, brushes, and preferred painting surfaces.

Limited supplies may be available in class.

Artists’ Statement:

My goal as a teacher is to create a supportive learning environment where students can build confidence, develop strong foundational skills, and enjoy the process of painting without pressure or expectations.
