via Skillshare

Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

In this class, I will show you my process for painting an Abstract Landscape using acrylic paint. This class is for all skill levels, although, having a basic knowledge of how to mix paint colors would be helpful.

This class is great for those with a little bit of painting experience but if you are a beginner or new to my classes, I recommend taking my classes in the order below:

1. How To Find Your Own Style As An Artist - very important to start with! 

2. Acrylic Painting: Learn The Basics For Beginners 

3. Acrylic Painting: How To Paint An Abstract Landscape (this class)

4. Acrylic Painting: How to Paint Using a Limited Color Palette 

5. Acrylic Painting: Explore A New Composition Using A Reference Photo 

6. Acrylic Painting: How To Create A Mixed Media Painting

In this class, you will learn about:

  • My favorite paints and brushes to use
  • How I start all of my paintings
  • My painting process from start to finish

At the end of this class, you will have an abstract painting that is ready to frame and hang on your wall!

Below is a photo of the colors I used for this painting (white not pictured), but you can use whatever colors you would like!

IMPORTANT: The paintings you create from my class examples are for learning/educational purposes only. Those paintings or ones heavily inspired by my class example (or my other work) cannot be sold or reproduced in any way. All of my work is copyrighted and that is a violation of the copyright. Please stick to painting from my class examples only (not from other work on my website) or work from your own inspiration photos.
