Looking to take acrylics beyond the basics?
Let our professional artists show you how 

This workshop will open your ideas to advanced acrylic possibilities whilst imparting professional painting skills and techniques. We’ll cover colour mixing, supports, layering techniques, gels, mediums, pastes, additives and the latest products on the market and show how to employ these to create different  types of paintings and effects. We’ll also explore some mixed media acrylic based possibilities including image transfer and embedding techniques. Expect to take home notes, test sheets and mini works to test out different applications: not only great for skill development but also invaluable as future reference.

Our advanced acrylics course is suitable for beginners and improvers as well as professional artists who require more information about the
different mediums/gels and acrylic additives and the effects these can create.  We’ll also cover how to prepare a range of surfaces, advanced colour mixing and even disclose some recent product innovations. You’ll gain technical knowledge and be encouraged to experiment and develop your own mixed media project, using some of the techniques shown. Experienced artists will be on hand to help coach you beyond your current level.

What to bring: Please bring reference of your current work if applicable and ideally bring along some examples of the type of paintings that most inspire you. Some materials will be provided for sample purposes. A range of gels and mediums will be available for purchase should you require them. Please bring along a set acrylic paints and brushes – advice can be given.
