Acrylic Painting with Ricky: Fundamentals, Approaches and Techniques:  Learn about acrylic painting with Ricky, exploring every step of the painting process from initial sketch, transferring the sketch onto the canvas, applying a coloured ground, building the painting in layers, glazing, detailing, texturing, finishing, varnishing and more.  We will create at least one highly detailed finished work and also do a variety of exercises and skills building.  The style of painting I teach will take your strong foundation in drawing and translate that into full colour acrylic painting.  Creativity will be encouraged and, after our first finished painting where we all create a painting of the same subject, students will get to create a second painting with their own choice of subject matter with 1 on 1 guidance from Ricky.  

Stay tuned for a list of required materials for students who wish to use their own paints and brushes.  For students who choose to use studio painting supplies, all supplies except for the canvas will be provided.
