In this class, I will be teaching you how to paint a loose acrylic fall landscape using a reference photo. This class is great for all levels.

A former art teacher and now an independent full-time artist, I am so excited to be teaching on Skillshare and I truly hope you find this corner of your space comforting, inspiring, and encouraging! Can't wait to connect with you all!

TOPICS I COVER:

Prepping your canvas and materials – I will show you how to prep your canvas before painting and all the brushes and paints you will need for this project.

Outlining and blocking off shapes – I will teach you how to draw your shape by outlining and how to block off your darks and lights.

Painting process and details – I will teach you how you can layer and build your colors with small strokes to add definition and dimension.

Final Touches – This step will teach you how you can be more expressive by only adding a few strokes and marks.
