Beginner 1:
An Introduction to Mixed Media
Explore the many textural effects you can achieve
with acrylic on board. You will use acrylic paint and
acrylic medium while creating multiple layers of
colour, texture and design.
​
You will practice on a pre-textured surface (supplied) and you texture one surface yourself. You will go home with 2 paintings. You will paint layers of acrylic over the surface and will also learn techniques that enhance the textural quality. Learn the principals of design while looking and adding and playing with your abstract piece. Even if you've never tried abstract painting, this is the place to start. It is a very easy way to make a great looking abstract.
