Course overview
Course description
From light and shade to understanding composition and colour, this course reveals the secrets of painting in acrylics. Beginning with a landscape painting, the course moves on to a portrait in monochrome and one in colour. It explains, in detail, how to create a likeness, colour mixing and how to blend shades and colours. Students experiment with abstract painting and design, and finish with a still-life project. More experienced students can concentrate on their own personal projects from the beginning and are free to choose their own subjects and to progress at their own pace.
