Description
Have you ever wanted to paint like an oil painter but prefer acrylics? Miguel will show you how to approach your painting in a different way! This class explores the principles of painting through direct observation of still life arrangements. Students will learn to mix colours accurately, control value and edges, and create depth and atmosphere in their work. Each session will focus on a new composition, allowing students to develop their painting techniques while deepening their understanding of light, form, and texture. Through guided instruction and individual exploration, this course is perfect for artists seeking to strengthen their observational skills and artistic expression.
New photo references as well as real life objects will be provided.
All levels welcome.
