About this course

The course offers a perfect environment to achieve your artistic potential. Experiment with acrylic paint for surprising results when manipulating media and tools to create the atmosphere of the sky. 


Learn how the light affects our choices of colour and how to apply atmospheric perspective as a sensational tool for creating the illusion of distance. Expressive application of paint, responsive mark making and ways of reinvigorating the surface will be examined. Experiment with thick and thin strokes of paint to create the atmosphere of the sky using a photo reference. 


Group discussions and constructive reviews help you to develop your responses to subject material and to generate confidence in your work. 


You will need:

  • Acrylic paint, white acrylic gesso, glycerin, spray bottle, palette, stretched canvases or canvas boards, acrylic/oil paper, different size paint brushes, graphite pencils, metal palette knife, reference photos
