Beginner Acrylics
CA$225.00
Wednesdays, 12-2:30 pm
Classes run: April 29 - June 3
(6 sessions, 15 hours of instruction!)
In this welcoming beginner‑friendly acrylic course, adult students will build a strong foundation in painting through clear instruction, hands‑on practice, and a supportive studio atmosphere. Learners will explore essential techniques such as colour mixing, layering, blending, and composition while developing the confidence to approach a blank canvas with curiosity rather than hesitation.
Through guided exercises and a completed final artwork, students gain practical skills, a repeatable creative process, and the joy of seeing their abilities grow week by week. The objective of this course is to introduce beginners to the core tools, techniques, and creative habits of acrylic painting, empowering them to create expressive, finished pieces with both skill and delight.
Each week will hold a different themed art based practice in play, experimentation, expression, mark making, finding your artistic voice and colour palette. Students will be painting their masterpiece on a 12"x12"canvas, a take home work booklet with homework prompts. Please text see below for required supply list.
