This Acrylic Painting course will help people of all levels to develop their colour, composition and experimental skills in this exciting medium, with emphasis on colour theory. Acrylic paint is water-based and can be used thinly like watercolour or thickly like oils. Probably the main advantage over oils is its fast drying time, which enables the painter to make rapid changes and complete a work relatively quickly. This can be especially useful when working outside. Suitable for beginners and if you have done acrylic painting before and would like to explore this medium more deeply and get guidance with your own projects.
