Ready to create a lively, expressive acrylic painting with texture, movement, and a strong focal point? In this hands-on course, students will explore composition, sponge-painting techniques, dynamic linework, and acrylic layering while creating an 8x10 canvas. Participants will work with fluid elements and fresh mediums to build a painting that feels balanced, dimensional, and full of movement.

Students will focus on:

• Creating a balanced composition with a strong focal point and supporting elements

• Using sponge-painting techniques to build a soft, multi-tonal sand effect

• Exploring dynamic linework and sweeping elements to create movement and flow

• Guiding the viewer’s eye across the canvas through composition and mark-making

• Practicing acrylic blending, layering, and brush control

• Working with gel mediums to explore paint flow, texture, and drying time

• Developing techniques for bringing the focal subject to life with color and dimension

This class is designed for artists who want to experiment with acrylic techniques while creating a playful, movement-filled composition. Individualized instruction and guidance will help students build confidence with acrylics, explore new mediums, and develop their own creative approach. Instructor will provide all supplies except for aprons.
