Virtual Acrylics Landscapes Course – Beginners

In this fun and creative acrylic painting course we will tackle the most common elements that make up a classic landscape painting – skies, trees, water, mountains and textures like rock, wood and stone. Each of the course will start with simple studies and progresses you through to more challenging examples.

This is a four week course with two hour sessions. This course is perfect for beginners who would like to build their confidence and refine their acrylic painting skills as they apply to landscapes.

Course Goals: Develop two landscape paintings throughout the course of four classes. Develop your skills using a variety of brush types, blending techniques and layering techniques.

Image One – Week One: Underpainting 

Start off by identifying complementary colours for the image and create a monochromatic underpainting to map out lights, shadows and composition.
