Short description of the course:

In our Acrylic Painting II course, students will build upon the foundation learned in our Acrylic Painting I course. Over the course of four weeks, held on weekday evenings from 19:00 to 21:30, students will learn advanced techniques for controlling tones, composition, and different painting methods. These techniques will be put into practice through various exercises, with each class focusing on creating a painting that incorporates the previously learned techniques and principles.

 

What to expect:

  • Throughout the course, students will further experiment with different painting tools such as paintbrush, sponge, palette knife.
  • Each class will begin with a clear explanation and demonstration of the session's subject by the art teacher, followed by painting exercises.

 

What is included:

  • All materials such as paper, painting tools, boards, etc. are included. Students do not need to bring anything except a positive attitude and a willingness to learn.

 

What you will learn:

  • Advanced techniques for controlling tones, composition, and different painting methods.
  • How to use a variety of brush strokes to create more complex and nuanced paintings.
  • More advanced color theory and how to mix colors to create a wide range of hues and tones.

 

Is this course right for me?

This course is designed for beginners who have previously attended the first module of the painting with acrylics course and thus acquired some important knowledge about practical fundamentals, like brush and palette knife handling, perspective principles, as well as colors mixing.
Those with some experience can also benefit from the course as it can help to organize existing knowledge and develop effective working processes. For more experienced students, we recommend joining one of our study groups.

 

Some important things to keep in mind:

  • We encourage all students to arrive 15 minutes before the start of class. This will allow us to start on time and will give you the opportunity to socialize with other students and share painting tips, discuss at-home practice, and provide help or receive help from others. This will help everyone improve their skills and achieve better results.
  • We will be happy to store your artwork throughout the course. On the last class we nicely package it so you can take it home and have guiding references while practicing your newly acquired skills.
  • This course is the continuation of a previous painting with acrylics module course for beginner students. You may want to consider purchasing both modules as a package to receive a 10% discount on your purchase.
  • This course will provide you with a continuation of the basic knowledge and skills needed for painting, but it is important to practice regularly to fully incorporate this knowledge. Our study groups offer the opportunity to continue practicing in a community of like-minded individuals up to two days a week (Mondays and Wednesdays, from 19.00 to 21.30).
