Acrylic Painting: Learn the Basics For Beginners
4.1(504)50k students
The biggest barrier to painting is thinking you need a studio and expensive supplies. This course proves you don't. You'll learn your workspace (kitchen table works fine), color mixing using just primaries plus white and black, brush selection, acrylic mediums for texture, and the fundamental techniques for creating dimension and depth. The teaching is generous with options—try these brushes, but these alternatives work too. The spirit is exploratory: you're building confidence and personal style, not copying the instructor's work.
For anyone who's wondered if they could paint but assumed they needed to start with classes at an art center.
Do you want paint but not exactly sure where to start? This is the class for you!
In this class, I am going to teach you everything you need to know about Acrylic Painting in order to get started. Acrylic is such a great medium because it is very easy to learn and use.
I cover A LOT of information in this class but I have it broken down into 6 categories:
And much more!
At the end of this class, you will have all of the skills you need to begin painting! Be sure to check out my How to find your own style as an Artist class as well!

IMPORTANT: The paintings you create from my class examples are for learning/educational purposes only. Those paintings or ones heavily inspired by my class example (or my other work) cannot be sold or reproduced in any way. All of my work is copyrighted and that is a violation of the copyright. Please stick to painting from my class examples only (not from other work on my website) or work from your own inspiration photos.
