Learn how to paint different paintings in this project. In the class, we'll explore how to paint a four different paintings, starting from the easiest.  Taught by Silvia Njoki, an artist and exploratory existentialist.

We will be using a combination of gouache and acrylic paint for this project because these have higher viscosity and flow easily over paintings. Due to their color, they prevent underlying paint from peaking through. Thus, they are ideal for layering. 

Students can choose to work with either options. 

We'll create four paintings in the class:

  • Abstract Paintings

The class is welcome for everyone who is interested in learning to paint. It adopts easy painting techniques and works well for a new individual. 

  • Abstract Painting 2

This painting adopts a different method of creating abstract act through using mixed mediums (gold colors). It is also suitable for new students to painting and easy to implement.

 

  • Painting 3

This painting adopts a different method of creating abstract act through using tape. It is also suitable for new students to painting and easy to implement. 

  • Painting 4

Landscape painting. It requires students to learn how to blend colors and create transitions in the painting project. It is ideal to work on as the last project, as it will require some more work. 

I hope you will discover how to create personal art projects and have an opportunity to develop your skills in landscape art. 

You will be in a position to curate masterpieces.
