Embracing the Essentials
A Year Ahead Full of Growth and Mastery in Acrylic Painting
As we step into a new year at the Academy of Fine Art and Acrylic Painting, we're thrilled to announce our renewed commitment to nurturing your artistic journey. This year, we're diving deep into the heart of acrylic painting – mastering the essential skills that form the foundation of all great artwork.
Why Basics Matter
Our experience has taught us that a strong grasp of basic techniques is crucial. Whether you're a beginner holding a brush for the first time or a seasoned artist revisiting the fundamentals, these skills are your stepping stones to advanced creativity. They are the alphabet to the language of art.
What to Expect This Year
Short, Engaging Video Tutorials: We understand that learning is an ongoing process. To support this, we're introducing a series of short videos that focus on key acrylic painting techniques. These bite-sized lessons are designed to fit into your busy schedule while providing maximum educational value.
Personal Art Coaching: As always, our unique Personal Art Coaching is here to guide you. When you're unsure about a piece or need expert advice on enhancing your work, just send us a photo. You'll receive personalized video feedback from me, Ginger Cook, with tips tailored just for you.
Community and Support: Our community is our strength. This year, we're planning interactive sessions, group discussions, and Q&A's to foster a supportive learning environment. Connect with fellow artists, share your progress, and be inspired.
Start with the Basics
To make the most out of our advanced lessons, we encourage you to begin with the basics. From understanding color theory and brushwork to mastering blending and layering, these skills are invaluable. They are the tools that will empower you to express your artistic vision with confidence and clarity.
Join Us on This Artistic Journey
We're more than just an academy; we're a family of artists passionate about acrylic painting. Whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills, there's always something new to learn and explore with us.
Here's to a year of growth, creativity, and vibrant art!

Happy New Year Ginger, Jon and all the Stuffy Staff. It looks like 2024 is going to be a year full of new ideas, beautiful colours and fantastic tutorials… what more could one want, except maybe a 28 hour day. HAH 🎨🖌️Teent
Teent,
