Acrylics are a great medium to create expressive landscapes. In this class, learn how to lay out a strong composition, gain a comprehensive understanding of mixing colours, practice various kinds of brushstrokes, and gain other important skills. Together we’ll also study some master landscape painters, and you will have the option of using some of your own photos to work from if desired.
