This Lighthouse Seascape class from my Acrylic Painting Series is a step-by-step tutorial 'study' designed to help beginners learn and practice painting with acrylics.

My study painting classes are designed to zero in on one subject at a time. This allows the beginner student to paint a complete painting in one or two sittings and possibly use the study for a more involved or complicated art piece at some point.

You will learn:

how to blend and mix colors from the basic paint colors
many brush techniques used in acrylic painting
the step-by-step painting process that I use in acrylic painting

and lots of other tips and tricks I've learned in my 30+ years as a professional decorative painter!

For supplies, in a nutshell, you'll need:

One 9" x 12 canvas board or stretched canvas, acrylic paint in the basic colors plus white, three brushes, water, paper towels or cloth and the reference photo.

I have a Materials List made out for the class that includes the full list of supplies and the full-color photo of the final painting. You can access that under the Projects and Resources Tab located below the video. It's there that you will also find the Reference Photo for the class project and the Traceable Sketch as well if you need it.

Need more of the basics first?

If you'd like to view or review the basics of painting with acrylics before you begin a class in this practice series, I recommend taking my class Introduction to Acrylics and the Painting Process located in the Beginning Acrylics Series.

You can find my other classes by clicking over to my Profile Page.

It's there that you can also find more info about me including, a little of my background, my social links, other classes I have available for you here on Skillshare and projects I've submitted in classes that I've taken. (I consider myself a life-long learner!)

Follow me!

While there, if you click the blue +Follow Button, you'll be the first to know (by email) when I publish another class, announce a giveaway or add a bonus video.

I hope you enjoy this class. If you have any questions, please ask away in the Discussion area found in the tab bar below the video. And please upload a photo of your project when you're finished, so we can all 'ooh and awe' over it in the Student Projects' Gallery. There will also be a prompt for you to discuss your project and ask questions when you submit it, if you choose to do so.

I'd love to see your progress and meet you through this fun platform.

Also, if you'd like to meet up in person (virtually), feel free to check out the 1-On-1 Sessions I have available through the link on my Profile Page -- I'd love to help you reach your goals as a beginning acrylic artist any way that I can.

I'm excited to be a part of your painting journey.

All the best in your quest,

Brigitte
