  • What is the course ?
    • A complete beginners course in acrylic painting for people who have never painted before
  • What you will learn
    • Everything first time painters really need to know but did not even know how to ask.
    • How to set up your first basic home studio
    • What acrylic paint is and how it works
    • What you should know about canvas and brushes
    • Terms and techniques to begin and succeed at your first paintings
    • How to fix mistakes
    • How to mix basic colors
    • The basic first things beginners need to be able to paint
    • You will understand the basic art terms for acrylic painting
    • You will complete 10 full paintings and gain enough skills to feel good about painting in general and move on to more complicated ideas

    • This is part of  a complete painting program designed to take you from never having painted before to creating art that you can be proud of. The course is completely free and teaches you the basics so that you will paint with success and confidence from your home based studio, regardless of whether it’s the kitchen table or a fully decked out art studio.

      Classes start November 2, 2021, and will take place on both YouTube and Facebooks on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday & Sundays, at 1 pm EDT until November 30, 2021. Every class will be at the easiest beginner level with a focus of helping first time artists. Not only will you learn the beginner basics about acrylic, but it is my goal that by the end of the course, you will have the fundamental set of skills you can build on and, at the same time, unlock your creative potential. Classes will be pre recorded live streams to help us schedule and to allow me to be present in chat during all classes to answer your questions.

      The course consists of an introduction and 17 classes which will introduce concepts and skills needed for first time acrylic painters of all ages. Extra resources will be provided from the The Art Sherpa website, www.theartsherpa.com.

      Although students must provide their own art materials, I designed the series using the minimal basic art supplies for acrylic painting.

      If you have really wanted to begin painting but did now know where to start, this course is perfect for you. Perhaps you have been painting for a while but never really got the opportunity to learn the basics. This is still the course for you.

Materials


Buyers tip. I am using the Primary Abstract by Sennelier  Set of paint - there are other primary sets out their and many painting companies will give you the courtesy of having at least 3 paints they call primaries in their paint line - You can use differently then myself but it will mean there are slight differences in our color mixes. So dont miss the color mixing class!! I have been painting online for a while I know what to do about these challenges.

So far this has been my favorite lesson. I've been trying free hand even though there is a traceable. Not so good with free hand drawing. Thank you for this awesome course

My first painting in over a year so thought it was a good idea to go back to basics, really enjoying this course and my cats aren't too bad.

Boy! I had a difficult time posting photos because of file size. So here are 3 smaller photos.
This project is the 1st painting where I mixed my own paint to make the hues for.my painting.

It was fun and simple. I used Amsrerdam paint and my background was darker blue than the Sherpas.
Now, I am hooked!!! So many lessons for me to learn. I want to do my own things but I think it is better to LEARN how to mix paints and to use brushes and techniques from the Sherpa in order to allow my skill, imagination, and creativity to grow while also learning color theory.

This is magical
