With Anne Kwasner
DATE: Tuesday 7th February
FEE: $255
DURATION: 9 wks, 2.5hrs p/w
TIME: 6.30pm - 9pm
Acrylics are a wonderfully versatile medium in which to learn to paint. They are fast drying and allow you to easily create layered works incorporating full bodied impasto textures and wash effects. Also, being water based, Acrylics are an ideal medium for those sensitive to the solvents used with oil painting.
In this course you will work on projects designed to explore colour theory and investigate tone, perspective, composition, colour and texture. You will also begin to investigate the application and layering of paint through experiments in impasto, painting a landscape and copying a section from an ‘old master’.
Throughout the course you will be encouraged to develop your own style and have fun experimenting with this versatile medium. So come on a creative journey with Acrylics and enjoy the space of this studio environment.
