Learn alongside a professional artist
When you sign up for acrylic painting courses, you’ll be unlocking expertise from some of the top artists in Australia. There’s an art to teaching and when you’re learning a new skill, a good teacher can make or break your experience. In beginners classes, you’ll get hands-on support and assistance from the crème de la crème.
You’ll start with acrylic painting techniques like layering, a fundamental skill that every artist should know. Next, you’ll start to experiment with more advanced techniques such as creating gradients, palette knifing and mixing colours on the canvas. Every teacher is different but one thing’s for sure – you’ll leave the studio with a brand new perspective on how to paint with acrylics.
Fall in love with acrylics
While oil paints and watercolours often steal the spotlight, acrylics are an incredibly rewarding medium. They offer the best of both worlds, with the vibrant colours and creamy textures of oil paints and the quick-drying, H20-friendly appeal of watercolours.
Unlike oil paints and watercolours, acrylics are suitable for use on a range of surfaces. While most acrylic painting for beginners classes teach you how to paint on canvas, you can continue to experiment with your new skillset at home. Get creative with wood, glass, fabric, furniture and more. Be sure to ask your teacher for tips!
Empower yourself with creativity
Diving into a new hobby can be intimidating, especially if it’s skill-based. Of course, that’s no reason not to make a splash. Whether you have zero experience painting, or you’ve been meaning to brush up on your skills for years, painting classes are an open door. You’ll savour the chance to step outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself with a new activity. It’s a truly empowering experience.
When it comes to famous acrylic painters, it doesn’t get much bigger than Andy Warhol. His Campbell’s Soup Cans launched acrylic paint onto the international art scene in the 1960s and the trend hasn’t lost momentum since. If you’ve always admired Andy and want to try your hand at imitating his style, acrylic painting for beginners workshops will be right up your alley.
Across the country, you’ll find classes that teach you how to paint everything from native Australian flora and fauna to beach and bushland landscapes. There’s so much to choose from which makes painting classes an ideal solution if you’re shopping for gift experiences for friends.
