Join Upper Hutt artist Dawn Duthie for an inspiring 5 week acrylic painting course focused on floral art at Dawn's Atelier, Shop 5, City Arcade, 123–125 Main Street, Upper Hutt.
In this in-depth acrylic course, students will learn Dawn’s signature grisaille underpainting technique — a dramatic monotone white-on-black foundation — before building luminous colour using layered acrylic glazes. This classical method creates depth, contrast and striking realism, perfectly suited to painting Flowers.
Over five Thursday evening sessions, you will complete a finished floral painting on a stretched and framed canvas, ready to hang in your home.
What You’ll Learn:
Grisaille underpainting (white on black technique)
Acrylic glazing and colour layering
Creating depth and light.
Realistic detail and tonal contrast
Techniques specific to painting flowers.
📅 Commencing November 5th
🕙 Thursdays–6 30pm till 8pm
📍 Dawn’s Atelier, Shop 5, City Arcade, 123–125 Main Street, Upper Hutt
All materials are provided — including canvas, acrylic paints and brushes — so you can simply arrive and immerse yourself in painting.
This Upper Hutt acrylic painting course is perfect for beginners wanting to learn strong foundational techniques, as well as intermediate artists keen to refine their skills.
Spaces are limited in this small studio setting — book early to secure your place.
