Acrylic Painting Course: Level 2

Level Up Your Creativity: Introducing Our Follow-On Acrylic Painting Course in February 2026

If you’ve completed our Beginner’s Acrylic Painting Course and are eager to take your skills to the next level, our brand-new Follow-On Acrylic Painting Course is the perfect next step in your creative journey.

Designed specifically for returning students, this course builds on the foundational techniques you already know—colour mixing, brush control, layering, and composition—while introducing more advanced methods to help you deepen your artistic expression. Expect to explore richer textures, experiment with new tools and mediums that challenge and inspire you.

We will be looking at coastal scenes, sunset skies and a still life. We will follow on with using our brushes, palette knives but also introducing some new techniques.

Each session includes guided demonstrations, personalised feedback, and plenty of time to develop your own unique style. You’ll complete three more pieces throughout the course, gaining confidence and discovering fresh ways to bring your ideas to life on the canvas. 

This course is £90 and will run in FEBRUARY OVER THREE WEEKS Wednesday 11th, 18th and 25th in the afternoons from 1 pm – 3 pm.

Whether you’re hoping to refine your technique, expand your creativity, or maybe just simply enjoy spending more time painting within a supportive group. 

Whatever the reason,  we can’t wait to see what you create next!
