In this course, we will be covering all the aspects of Acrylic Painting in detail. This beginner-friendly course will take place over a span of 4 days. In each session, we will be exploring the different techniques of acrylic painting and by the end of the course, the participants will have completed 4 beautiful paintings. This will be an ideal class for those who are new to this versatile medium, and for those who are looking to further develop their painting skills.

1. Week 1: Camping under the stars- In our first session, the participants will be introduced to the different types of Acrylic Paint, how this medium works, the various surfaces it can be used on, different brands which are available in the market and the various types of brushes & tools that can be used. We will be using synthetic brushes and sponge to create a beautiful galaxy-themed painting.

2. Week 2: European Harbour- In this class, we will learn how to draw buildings in perspective and create the illusion of distance. We will advance into blending techniques using brushes and the participants will also be introduced to palette knives which will be used to add texture to a painting.

3. Week 3: Seascape- This week, we will be transported to the beach. This seascape painting will encourage the participants to try some more advanced techniques and also how to add a realistic feel to their paintings through the use of shadows and highlights. We will continue with our use of palette knives to create waves crashing on the seashore.

4. Week 4: Snowy Mountains- In our final session, we will be exploring the various aspects that are quintessential to a nature-themed painting; blueskies, mountains, trees and lakes. We will incorporate all the techniques that have been taught in the previous sessions to create a slightly more challenging and detailed painting.
