Learn acrylic painting with Setareh Hosseini of Live For Art in a series of 6 workshops to help you express your creativity and develop your acrylic painting skills. This course will be structured to help you understand the tools of painting and explore techniques before launching into painting your creations.
In these 6 x 3 hour classes, you will learn about different painting tools and brushes and how to use them, and you will do exercises based on the effects created by different brushes and tools and finally you paint a painting in the style of a well known artist. The next artist is Joseph Stella. The techniques will be demonstrated and you get to practice them before using them in create your final painting.
We will explore a variety of acrylic techniques and styles as you gain confidence, use your imagination, and express your own style.

For the next course - over the 6 sessions, you will explore the techniques of Joseph Stella and paint his painting called 'Dance of Spring'. This painting has many elements and we will use the full 6 weeks to paint it.
Josef Stella was an Italian born futurist painter best known for his depictions of industrial America, especially his images of the Brooklyn Bridge. He is also associated with the American precisionist movement of the 1910s-1940s.
The painting you will paint will be on a larger canvas 40x60cm or similar.
Acrylics are a fabulous medium as they are easy to work with, colours are vibrant, and they dry quickly. In this 6-week course, you will learn a range of drawing and painting techniques and be guided to paint a picture or in the style of the inspiring artist who is the focus. You will produce an artwork you can proudly display in your home or living space.
