Term 3, Adult Acrylics 102 8 Week Program

 Acrylic Painting with Sarah – Term 3 Evening Program

Ready to paint with confidence and freedom? This 8-week acrylic class is the perfect place to start or deepen your painting journey in a relaxed, inspiring environment.

Led by local artist and educator Sarah, you’ll explore colour mixing, layering, brushwork, and composition — all through guided lessons designed to build your skills and creativity. In the first half of the term, you’ll experiment with a variety of engaging techniques. By Week 4, you’ll begin your own Term Project — a complete acrylic painting where you apply everything you’ve learned to a subject of your choice.

Throughout the program, you’ll explore unconventional, expressive techniques that will help you create depth, movement, and personality in your work:

🌾 Dry Brush Texture

Create scratchy, weathered marks using a near-dry brush — ideal for textured surfaces, fur, or dramatic light effects.

🔪 Impasto with Palette Knife

Add bold, sculptural texture using a palette knife and thick acrylics. It’s painting you can feel.

💫 Acrylic Glazing

Layer transparent colour washes to build glow and depth without losing clarity — perfect for skies, shadows, and mood.

🌫️ Scumbling

Drag a light layer of paint over a dry, dark surface for a smoky, misty effect — ideal for softening edges and adding atmosphere.

🖼 Acrylic Skin Collage

Create paint “skins” on plastic sheets, then peel and collage them into your artwork for layered, abstract dimension.
