This acrylic painting class is all about painting with texture! Artists create visual texture through the use of colour and brushstrokes as a way of producing a more interesting and expressive artwork.

In this improver level class I’ll show you different ways of creating texture with your brush and with colour. We'll start with some experimentation to help you find your style and then I'll take you step by step through a landscape painting to show you how you can apply textural techniques. The aim is to create a landscape painting that you bring your own style to through using your own choice of colour, type of brushstrokes and unique mark-making.

This class is best followed as a paint along session - get all your materials sorted and then as we work together I'll talk about the best practices for acrylic painting and give you handy tips to help you as you paint.

By the end of this project you'll be able to:

Paint a landscape that has energy and texture
Create visual texture effects using colour and brushstrokes
Mix colour directly on the painting surface
Create depth and distance in a landscape painting
Prime your own paper or canvas
Use acrylic paint texture mediums
