Acrylic Painting Courses

Acrylic Painting Pathway – From Core Skills to Creative Freedom

​

Our Acrylic Painting Pathway takes you from building essential skills through to creating bold, expressive works with confidence. Beginning with techniques introduced in our Art Fundamentals: Line, Tone & Colour course, you’ll explore colour, texture, and composition across three progressive levels – each designed to help you grow as a painter and develop your personal style.

​

Level 1 – Acrylic Painting Foundations (Beginner)

Building on the painting basics covered in the Art Fundamentals course, Level 1 introduces you to acrylic materials, colour mixing, and essential brush techniques. You’ll learn how to create depth through layering, handle light and shadow, and complete a small still life or landscape using all the core techniques.

​

Level 2 – Acrylic Painting Development (Intermediate)

In Level 2, you’ll expand your technical skills with glazing, blending, and advanced colour harmony. Projects will focus on more complex compositions, texture effects, and developing your own palette. You’ll experiment with landscapes, still life, and expressive subjects to build confidence and versatility.

​

Level 3 – Acrylic Painting Mastery (Advanced)

Level 3 is about producing ambitious, exhibition-ready paintings. You’ll work on large-scale or multi-panel pieces, explore conceptual and narrative themes, and experiment with mixed-media acrylic techniques. The course culminates in a final statement piece that reflects your artistic voice and mastery of the medium.
