Painting and Chai (Term 3)
The Acrylic Painting Course is an 8-week journey designed to build confidence and skill in acrylic techniques. Starting with an introduction to materials and basic brushwork, students will explore color theory, composition, and underpainting to create depth and balance in their work. As the course progresses, participants refine their understanding of light, shadow, blending, and expressive brush techniques. Through guided exercises, students experiment with different styles, from still life, portraiture, landscape and abstract, while developing their personal artistic voice. The final sessions focus on layering, refining details, and completing a finished painting with individual feedback and group critique. This course provides a supportive environment for both beginners and experienced artists to enhance their creativity and technical abilities in acrylic painting.
