Expressing yourself with acrylic paint

Acrylic paint is a versatile medium that offers artists a dynamic platform for self-expression. Its unique properties, vibrant colours, quick drying times, and adaptability - make it an excellent choice for expanding your self expression through art. But really it all starts with loosing your fear of mistakes!

Over our 3 lessons an acrylic painting, we have covered:

• Acrylic washes - getting your values down right to ensure a good outcome

• Acrylic impressionism - a very expressive art form, leaving your strokes visible, accepting the happy accidents and learning brushwork and knife painting like a pro

• Acrylic glazing - how to create depth and create uniformity in your painting

• Acrylic fine details - using those tiny brushes to see how much those small strokes can make a difference.

The point of these acrylic classes was for you to experiment freely: to not be afraid to try new techniques or color combinations.

Acrylic paint serves as a powerful medium for self-expression, offering endless possibilities to translate your inner world onto the canvas. By exploring various techniques and drawing inspiration from diverse sources, you can develop a unique artistic voice that resonates with your personal experiences and emotions

I hope you can take away from these classes that in order to build your own style as an artist you need to grow confidence - understand that mistakes are wonderful in the art world, as you have learnt from them.
