What Will You Learn?
Designed to inspire, enthuse, and educate, the Acrylic Painting Diploma Course will take you from a complete beginner to a confident painter.
Techniques and theories are simplified for easier comprehension, while practical exercises and step-by-step projects assist your learning at every stage. You’ll get to know the tools you’ll need and how to use them, and how to mix and apply paint. You’ll also learn about the idea generation and project creation process, so you’re never short of subjects to immortalise.
The course begins with a brief overview of acrylic painting. This includes an examination of how acrylics compare to water-based and oil paint, the tools you’ll need, and how to keep things cost-effective. To get you painting quickly, you’ll then jump into a simple warm-up exercise.
We’ll look at the importance of keeping a sketchbook journal as an inspirational and exploratory tool, and various methods of cataloguing and recording visual interests and prompts. The course will talk you through observing and noticing creative opportunities in everyday life, generating ideas, and developing them into projects.
The course will guide you through painting found objects, a natural landscape, a cityscape, and a still life – exploring the techniques and processes used to create each – with projects to complete for each.
The course concludes with advice on how to develop a plan that will help you to continue on your creative journey once you have completed the course.
