Online Acrylic Painting (Intermediate)

Every 2 weeks, participants will be sent a video tutorial for a painting. Students will work on the painting at home, and meet biweekly with the class and instructor for a 1 hour live Q&A on Zoom. 

The Q&As will occur at 6pm on January 26, February 9, February 23, March 9, and March 23.

Between Q&As, students are invited to share their work, and any questions they might have in a private Facebook group. 

Painting techniques covered include:

• Fading objects into backgrounds
• Going from grayscale to colour
• Using printmaking techniques to create texture
• Painting with a palette knife
• Creating reflections

Video tutorials are sent out following the Q&A, along with a recording of the Q&A for anyone that couldn’t be there live.
