Acrylic Painting for Beginners (Adults)

Every painting is built through layers—not perfection.

If you've always wanted to paint but didn't know where to start, this class is for you. Designed for complete beginners, this 7-week course introduces the fundamentals of acrylic painting through step-by-step instruction and hands-on practice.

You'll learn how to mix color, use a variety of brush techniques, create strong compositions, and build depth with light and shadow. Acrylic's fast drying time and flexibility let you layer, adjust, and refine your work as you go, making it one of the most forgiving and versatile painting mediums to learn. Through projects inspired by still life, landscapes, abstraction, and imagination, you'll build both technical skills and creative confidence.

Each class includes demonstrations, guided practice, and plenty of time to paint, helping you build the skills and confidence to continue painting beyond the course.

During class, you'll:

• Learn core acrylic painting skills through guided projects
• Explore color mixing, brushwork, and composition
• Practice building depth through layering, light, and shadow
• Create finished paintings to take home
• Gain confidence working with paint independently

No experience is needed. All paints, brushes, canvases, easels, and materials are included.
