Mastering Acrylics: Paint with Confidence

Develop technique, discover your style, and paint with confidence in a supportive studio designed around your creative goals.

Explore multiple subjects and styles

10 weeks  |  2.5 h / session

Discover the versatility and excitement of acrylic painting in this open-studio style course designed for beginner to intermediate adult artists. Instead of focusing on a single subject, students will explore a variety of themes and techniques — from landscapes and portraits to abstraction, still life, and imaginative compositions — all while developing their personal artistic style.

This course emphasizes foundational acrylic skills that can be applied across any subject matter. Through live demonstrations, individualized guidance, and hands-on studio time, students will deepen their understanding of:

  • Colour theory and confident colour mixing
  • Light, shadow, and atmospheric effects across various subjects
  • Composition planning and visual storytelling
  • Brushwork, texture, layering, and diverse acrylic techniques
  • Working in realism, abstraction, or anything in between based on personal goals

Whether you’re building foundational skills or expanding your creative range, this open-studio environment provides the structure, flexibility, and constructive feedback needed to grow as an acrylic painter.
