Course Description

Artwork by Riley F.

Paint is perhaps the most versatile medium of all. With just a few colors you can depict a soft, abstract sunset or render a realistic portrait. Whether you're new to acrylic painting or seeking to deepen your knowledge, there is always something to learn with paint.

Sharpen your ability to see and mix colors and test the effects of different brushstrokes. Practice describing forms and space using color and tone. Assignments like color wheels, still lifes and landscapes will prepare you with reliable methods in acrylic painting.
