This course is perfect for artists looking to level up their acrylic painting skills with knowledge of how to start a painting, navigating the often-challenging middle stages, refining details, and understanding advanced techniques to pull off various looks like fur, water, man-made and organic shapes. Improve your knowledge of acrylic paints by learning more about layering, creating texture, and better blending, with support from instructor, Jessica Henry.
Over the 4 weeks of this course, Jessica will be teaching a painting focused on understanding and creating fur texture (the painting will either be that of a bear or a wolf).
Prerequisites:
- Students should have a basic knowledge of working with acrylics, including appropriate water content, basic blending, gradients, and layering
- Students are encouraged to have taken a few introductory acrylics classes
All supplies will be provided by your instructor, or by Catalyst. Optional to bring:
- Students are encouraged to bring their own brushes if they have them, to get practice working with your own materials
