6 Week Intro to Acrylics with Audrey Nicoll
Starting Jan 6th, 2026 1-4pm
Location: Chester Basin Legion
Acrylic paint offers a multitude of technical options from atmospheric layering to thick textured impasto. It is a forgiving medium and perhaps the best place to
begin your entry into painting pictures. This introductory class offers you the opportunity to learn about the diverse potential of working with acrylic paint
through a weekly series of focused exercises, demonstrations and projects. We will explore the fundamentals of working with acrylic paint using various
techniques from glazing to impasto, the use of medium and retarder, constructing a painting, developing brushwork, and mixing colour. No experience is necessary,
but always helpful.
