Acrylic Painting
via Google Meet (online)
There are many options available in my acrylic classes listed above. Our fist session everyone one will complete the same image. This is designed to be easier for you and also for me to teach you. Once you have learnt the basics, you are able to continue doing any image of your choice.
As an ongoing student you will build up confidence in your skills. Then you will start to explore other options, other mediums if you wish. Freeing your self in exploration is very therapeutic and rewarding.
Be brave and push you limits, explore your inner self, in a calm relaxed atmosphere. You will surprise your self and what you are capable of.
LETS HAVE FUN WITH THIS!!!!
Acrylic Painting via Google Meet (online)
Dare to go there!!! Portrait painting is challenging but with my guidance anyone can do it.
Sometime the image you are painting can have a mind of its own. I painted this image thinking it was going to be soft and just acrylics but half way through all I could think about was using a pallet knife to add to the hair then the shoulders.
I suggest after a couple of terms you should explore Portrait paints whether realism or abstract, imagination your choice.
At some point it is good to explore all types of painting or mix the mediums and create something unique.
