This course explores the deeper aspects of building a painting with acrylic paints, focusing on both technical skill and artistic decision-making.
Elements of Design & Composition
We’ll examine line, shape, value, texture, and balance as tools for creating strong working compositions. You’ll learn how to organize a painting so the viewer’s eye moves intentionally through the image.
Color Mixing
A major focus of the course is understanding color relationships and developing confident mixing skills. We’ll explore warm and cool colors, neutrals, harmony, contrast, and how to create a cohesive palette.
Glazing & Layering for Luminosity
You’ll learn how transparent glazes and layered applications of acrylic can create depth, richness, and light within a painting. These techniques help transform flat color into a luminous surface.
Brushwork Techniques
We’ll practice a range of brush handling methods—from smooth blending to expressive mark-making—so you can develop greater control, versatility, and personal style.
Dates: July 7, 14 and 21 from 5:30pm - 8:30pm (9 hours Total)
Studio Location: Painting Studio @ the Richmond Cultural Centre 7700 Minoru Gate, Richmond, BC, Canada
Supplies: Supplies including paints, mediums, brushes and tools will be included in the class. Please note that this does not include the cost of the cradled wood panels.
