A Cornish Seascape Acrylic Course

Acrylic Impressionistic Seascape – Single Project Course

This course will help you create an impressionistic seascape painting with painterly brushstrokes and vivid turquoise seascapes.

We’ll cover set-up, colour mixing and brush techniques; the step-by-step instruction will keep you on track.

Who is the course for?

I’ve designed this acrylic seascape painting course with the absolute beginner in mind; you’ll be guided through the basics of working with acrylics, learn the power of a limited palette, then move on to choosing accurate pigments to achieve the right effect.

Imagine going to your paint box, opening up the lid and picking out just three brushes. That’s all you need to complete the painting.

From the reference image, everything has been set out, a simple drawing to work from with a step-by-step plan to follow.

You only need to focus on the next step.

You’ll be using simple brush techniques and materials, so even if you’re completely new to painting, you’ll get great results!

What materials will I need?

We’ll only use seven colours, and that includes white, and if you’ve been following some of my other courses, you will have most, if not all, of the colours already.
