Paint: Explorations: Acrylics

Acrylic paint offers a wide range of expressive possibilities, from soft, watercolour-like washes to thick, richly textured, and energetic applications. We’ll explore primary, secondary, and tertiary colours, deepening our understanding of the colour wheel while experimenting with a variety of painting surfaces, including raw and primed canvas, heavy paper, wood, and lightweight papers. Exploring the relationship between form and background through colour, scale, and composition will be another key part of our process. We’ll also create multilayered, collage-inspired works incorporating drawing techniques, playful experimentation, and individual expression. This eight-week painting adventure offers a rich, creative experience, encouraging each participant to discover new approaches, explore materials, and develop their own unique artistic voice.
