Acrylic paints were invented in the mid 20th century to provide an alternative to oil paints for the commercial art industry. These paints provided a greater range of color and faster drying times which in turn allowed artists to create paintings that were not possible with traditional paints. This class will be an introduction to basic acrylic painting techniques, and will include paint selection, color mixing, composition, brush work, mixed media, subject matter, acrylic mediums and more to introduce you to this highly versatile painting style. You will work on painting projects and sketchbook work daily to develop your own skills and creative style.
