Abstract Acrylic Painting Course
Take your painting practice from hesitant to expressive with a complete abstract acrylic course built for real results. You will master colour theory, gestural techniques, layering, and composition — everything you need to create bold, finished work. This course covers the full process, from setting up your studio to presenting exhibition-ready paintings.

What will I learn?
You will build a solid foundation in acrylic materials, surface preparation, and studio setup before moving into colour theory, mark-making, and composition. The course teaches you how to mix accurate, expressive palettes, handle brushes and palette knives with control, and create rich textured surfaces using mediums and mixed media. You will learn compositional strategies that work specifically for abstract painting, then develop your own recognisable style through series work and critical self-evaluation. Advanced techniques include pouring, masking, underpainting, and resolving complex multi-layer paintings. The course finishes with professional skills: varnishing, photographing, framing, and building a portfolio.
