Ready to turn your reference photos into finished paintings with confidence? Tailored for beginners working in acrylics, this hands-on course will guide you through the essentials of painting – from the ground up – using a chosen reference image, whether a still life or landscape. You’ll learn how to interpret your photo creatively while building a strong foundation in key artistic principles. We’ll begin with composition and thumbnail sketching to plan your piece, then dive into colour theory, mixing techniques, brushwork and paint viscosity to bring your vision to life. Along the way, you’ll discover how to make thoughtful design choices and develop your own artistic voice. By the end, you’ll have the tools to transform reference images into expressive, finished paintings – and take the next step on your artist journey.
