Discover how to capture the beauty, drama, and atmosphere of the sky in this relaxed, follow up friendly painting course. Whether you're inspired by soft morning light, glowing sunsets, or expressive storm clouds, this 6 weeks course will guide you through the process of painting skies using acrylics. This course offers a supportive space for you to explore painting skies while developing your skills and personal style with acrylics. Through step-by-step demonstrations and hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to work with colour blending, layering, and brush techniques to create realistic and expressive skies. Y
ou’ll explore how light, weather, and time of day affect mood and composition—and how to translate that onto the canvas in your own way.
