Acrylic Painting Fundamentals
Peter Dama, BFA, MFA
Acrylics are famous for their versatility. They can be used straight from the tube to look like oil paints.
Instructive and inspirational, this course brings together the diverse styles of the American Realists Painters and Impressionists Painters to illustrate the versatility and creative excitement of acrylics. You’ll learn their tips, tricks, and techniques in step-by-step instructions. This class covers all the basic, and some not-so-basic acrylic techniques. The students will work from their choice of American Realism Painter Edward Hopper, or Impressionist Painter Claude Monet, or Post-Impressionist Painter Vincent Van Gogh. Each lesson will show the student exactly how to re-create these
painting details in the appropriate style and how their techniques might be replicated. Reference and source
materials provided.
