What is Acrylic Painting?
Acrylic Painting is an interesting medium that has many advantages, mainly known for being water-soluble and polymer based making it an easy medium to manipulate with to create vibrant works. Unlike Oil Painting, acrylic is a non-toxic medium and can be used on its own. Additionally, Acrylic Painting is fast-drying and multiple layers can be applied over multiple sessions to achieve your desired texture.
Our professional and patient art instructors will guide you through your acrylic painting work using the same painting methods and techniques from both acrylic and oil painting to make up your very own beautiful artwork.
