Acrylic painting is the newest technique; it appeared in the 1950s. Because of its ease of work, this technique gained wide acceptance among contemporary artists.

The basis for acrylic paints can be canvas, paper, cardboard, or wood. Acrylic bases do not require any preparation, but the most popular base is primed canvas.

Acrylic paints dry quickly and are diluted with water. When dried, they become insoluble. The helmet can be applied glazing and pasty, using a palette knife.

The main difference between acrylic and oil is the drying time. Acrylic dries in a couple of minutes, oil in weeks. What’s better? Everyone chooses for himself. But it is worth considering; due to the quick drying of the paint, it is simply impossible to create a picture in the style of realism with acrylic.

For Beginners & Experienced

COURSE PROGRAM:

THIS PROGRAM IS SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH ANY LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE. CALCULATE THAT ONE TOPIC OF THE LESSON TAKES 2–3 SESSIONS OF 2 HOURS.

Lesson #1

Introduction to acrylic

Acrylic is a fresh and modern material with which you can create interesting works. But in order to be comfortable working with this material, you need to know: the types of acrylics, what kind of base is needed before work, what brushes are needed, etc.

In the lesson we will: understand brushes, paints and additional materials. Let’s paint our first simple acrylic painting.

Lesson #2

Palette knife and acrylic

Acrylic has a feature – shrinkage. This means that after applying a volumetric smear, it will become flat when dry. Then how do you make volume with a palette knife? This requires special pastes.

In the lesson we will: understand the types of texture pastes and learn how to work with a palette knife using an acrylic technique.

Lesson #3

Dot painting style

Pointillism is an unusual style of painting that arose after post-impressionism. The idea was that the whole picture was covered with dots of different colors, creating a volume. This technique was liked by a wide number of artists and resonated in the modern world. Of course, it has changed over time. And we will try its updated version!

In the lesson we will: study the pointillism style of painting and consolidate it with practical work.

Lesson #4

Grunge and acrylic

Grunge is a rebellious style that has manifested itself in various fields, from painting to fashion. The main message of the style is the denial of trends, following fashion. Something that breaks common patterns and norms. The style originated in America and very quickly gained momentum around the world.

In the lesson we will: analyze the style of “grunge” in detail and create our first picture in this direction.

Lesson #5

Gilding and acrylic

The technique of gilding is very ancient. For the first time, masters began to use it in icon painting, but, having gained momentum, it became favored by artists, decorators, and furniture makers. What is its feature? The fact that plates of gold leaf (very thin) are applied to an object or canvas, creating the effect of gilding. A very glamorous technique!

In the lesson we will: learn the technique of gilding by painting a modern and stylish picture.

Lesson #6

Abstraction

In the lesson we will: analyze the style of painting “abstractionism” and talk about color and its influence on human emotions. Let’s paint our first painting in this style.
