Acrylic Painting Tutorials

Welcome to my online pay-as-you go acrylic painting course. Each module includes a video painting demonstration, with my technique and process fully explained, along with accompanying notes, full instructions, and a painting exercise.

See below for a list of required materials, all readily available on Amazon. For those based in the UK, I use www.jacksonsart.com or www.artsupplies.co.uk. Module One requires only white and black or grey acrylics, a flat brush, and a surface to paint on. It is an excellent way to warm yourself up for the rest of the course – and start moving paint around with a bit of freedom! For the entire course, you will need:
– Acrylic boards or canvas boards, whichever size you prefer (acrylic paper is okay, if taped onto a board. Other paper isn’t ideal unless very thick, taped onto a drawing board and primed with gesso)
– Titanium white, cadmium red, lemon yellow, ultramarine, pthalo blue, pthalo green, sap green, purple/violet, plus a small amount of black or Paynes grey for the first day of the course
– A medium flat, filbert and a liner or rigger brush
– Water pot and cloth/tissue/wipes
– Large palette (a plate is fine!)
– I recommend an easel, but it’s not essential!
