Join David Bottini for this Intermediate Acrylic Painting Class. This class is recommended for anyone who has taken David’s Acrylic Start to Finish or for anyone who has already started learning acrylic techniques. Working from your own observation, quick sketches, and photos, students will create an acrylic painting on canvas. Covered areas include gaining and sharpening drawing skills, organizing a composition and developing full color painitngs. Glazing, impasto, loose and painterly styles will be addressed based on the student’s choice. Students choose whichever subject they want to work with, animals, landscape, architecture, still life, etc. Composition will remain an important focus throughout all steps. This class will encourage review and discussion both during development and after completion. Level up your acrylic painting game in this educational and informative class and see your progress!
