Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this acrylic painting class:

Learn to approach acrylic in a way that is similar to oil paint, that is, using full-bodied medium out of the tube and painting on canvas surfaces. The instructor will emphasize the importance of tonal value (darks and lights), make color a friend, and work with you to develop enjoyable compositions.

The class will take place once a week for two hours online. The instructor will discuss the topic of the day (“blocking in”, understanding color, etc.) , provide demonstrations, and maintain casual interaction with students as needed.

About the Instructor:

I have several decades of experience in working in acrylic, and several years of experience teaching classes in the subject.


Materials Needed to Participate Fully:

  • A simple set of acrylic paint in various colors
  • Three “flat”-type brushes, approximately 1 inch, 1/2 inch, 1/4 inch each
  • 2 or 3 canvas boards (canvas pre-stretched on hard cardboard), and 2-3 pre-stretched canvases on stretcher frames, all 9”x 12”” or 11”x14”
  • Water and rags

Virtual Class FAQ


What will be included in my Virtual Class package?


One ticket includes an access link to your live, online class. The class will be delivered via web conferencing software and feature a live, professional instructor who will walk you through a lesson as described above. You will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as participate from home.


Will I need anything from home to use in the class?


You will need a reliable Internet connection as well as a computer or device with which you can access your virtual class. We recommend you arrive to class 5-10 minutes early to ensure you're able to set up your device and connection. Additionally, if the class is more than just a lecture you will likely want any materials listed in the course description as "Materials Needed to Participate Fully", though you're welcome to purchase a seat and sit in and just watch.


Am I able to ask questions or interact with the class?

Yes, you'll both be able to ask questions using the chat function in the video hosting software as well as at certain intervals during the class via voice/audio. If the class winds up being on the smaller side, more spontaneous interaction/questions will be encouraged.
