Acrylic Painting Beginner-Friendly Workshop with Neelofar Fatima
Otto Röhm invented acrylic resin, which quickly transformed into acrylic paint. In 1934, the first usable acrylic resin dispersion was developed by German chemical company BASF, which was patented by Rohm and Haas. Synthetic paint was first used in the 1940s, combining some of the properties of oil and watercolour. Between 1946 and 1949, Leonard Bocour and Sam Golden invented a solution for acrylic paint under the brand Magna paint. Rooftop hosted an Acrylic painting beginner-friendly workshop with Neelofar Fatima for art lovers.
About The Artist
Neelofar belongs from Kolkata and is a final year medical student and a part-time artist.
Neelofar greeted all the participants and thanked the host for the lovely introduction. She first started painting strokes of blue and red colour for the blending colour of them on the canvas. She then continued to paint mountains, rivers and trees with black colour and concluded the sketch of the tree by drawing the leaves and the stem.
Towards The End Of The Workshop
Neelofar created a beautiful and colourful acrylic painting of beautiful sunset, coconut tree, mountain and grass. All the participants appreciated her created acrylic painting and showed their co-created one stroke painting to her. She appreciated all the participants’ artworks. The host thanked Neelofar for teaching this wonderful art.
The attendees were from different parts of the country. They also belonged to different age groups but their love for art brought them together on a single platform. Rooftop, as always, was successful in connecting artists and curating a magical and positive vibe together.
On this note, here’s us signing off until next time!

Materials:
- Blue acrylic paint, different shades
- Magenta acrylic paint
- White acrylic paint
- Black acrylic paint
- Paintbrushes
- Masking or painter’s tape
- Pencil
- Cotton swabs
- Canvas
Step 1
Place tape on all sides of the canvas for the border, then using your pencil, draw a heart at the center, and the tree’s body underneath the heart drawing the branches around the bottom of the heart as well. Apply different shades of blue all over the canvas with the darker at the top and the lightest at the bottom, make sure to blend them well, then splatter some white paint all over the top half for the stars effect using your brush as shown in the video. Using black paint, trace the tree’s body, then draw the branches as well, and add more details. Tie three cotton swabs together, then dip the ends in magenta paint, and dab them all over the heart shape.
Step 2
Mix together the magenta and white, then dip the cotton swab set, and dab them all over for some accent. Grab a clean single piece of a cotton swab, then dip it in white paint, and dab it on the heart for some highlights. Paint the bottom of the tree or the ground with black paint, then add a few thin strokes at the top near the tree for the grass shadow, dab more magenta around the tree’s body for the effect of the falling petals, and dab a few whites for the highlights Once the paint has dried completely, gently peel off the tape around the sides of the canvas, and you’re done!
