Have you always wanted to paint, but unsure how to begin? Our skilled tutor Rossella Picciani will show you how in this series of four online sessions.
You will learn about the different types of acrylic paint and mediums (paint additives designed to give you a range of specific results). You’ll experiment with different brushes and pallet knives and other techniques - did you know that you can paint on many types of surfaces if you don’t want to paint on canvas?
