Acrylic Basics & Colour Mixing
12 Week Class ONLINE | Available
This ONLINE course offers an introduction to this extremely versatile and forgiving paint. First steps will focus on building a simple, straight forward and practical understanding of colour mixing and colour matching. We will use our studies to support creating various colour 'moods' using uncomplicated subjects as our starting point. We will also mix basic acrylic mediums and gels with our pigments to extend paint, increase drying time, build texture and alter surface finishes. We will work on small canvases no larger than 9” x 12” or 12” x 12” to facilitate completion of these introductory projects. Extensive instructor demonstrations will help students to understand the ABC’s of manipulating acrylic paint.
