How To Paint With Acrylics

Unlock your creative potential.  Creating beautiful realistic paintings is a skill and way of thinking, that you can achieve faster than you think.

We’ve all seen paintings so vibrant and realistic that they jump off the page.  Some artists seem to have a special gift that allows them to make paintings that take your breath away. They seem to make every stroke count.

Have you felt you’d love to achieve this but don’t know where to start?  Not having success matching what you imagine with what you actually paint?  Have you purchased expensive art supplies but still don’t get the result you are after?

True enough powerful paintings are not easy to achieve.   What if I told you that creating paintings with impact is not an innate gift but a learnable skill?

I’ve created this course to build your confidence.  The confidence to know how you can create stunning paintings.

It’s an online course with one year access you can watch whenever you want.  This includes an online support network.  You are not on your own.

Testimonials

Hi Celia, Your course was amazing, what I liked is everyone can learn from your structured method and come back to the painting and be confident with the next step. Also use a limited palette!  I learnt a lot by watching the demo's.  Thanks for everything 

Vicky Taylor

Celia this is a great course and I like the way it is delivered. The bonus of your Thursday live painting sessions and feedback re our questions, is super helpful too. Having never had a regular painting habit, I am planning to develop it going forward. Loving painting the large scale Australian native plants too and think painting plants could become a thing for me. Thank you!  

Heather Walters

“I loved this course! I’m a complete beginner and I’ve learned so much about painting and using acrylics. I love Celia’s teaching style, the way she breaks everything down so that what felt overwhelming initially, became achievable. The orientation module at the beginning was so helpful to lay the foundational skills, and each video was engaging and provided clear explanations. 

It’s been fabulous doing this course online because, while it’s self-paced, there’s a wonderful camaraderie in the group with everyone sharing their progress, and Celia provides lots of support and bonus videos.  I highly recommend this course!”

How to Paint with Acrylics will:

  • Give you confidence in painting.
  • Help you build creativity into your life.
  • Teach you a model for painting that will allow you to paint and still get on with the rest of your life.
  • Help you accurately mix the colours you see.
  • Teach you valuable techniques you can use to tackle any painting subject.
  • Let you learn at your own pace.
  • Share your learning experience with an online group.

How it works ...

We use nature - specifically Australian native plants, to help us learn about colour and to create 6 realistic paintings.  The tools you will learn can be applied to any subject.  The course includes full step by step video instruction, reference photos, plus written manual and online learning network group.  The online network makes you feel part of a group learning together as you share your work and see how differently people interpret the lessons.

I want to inspire you to realise your dreams.  How to Paint with Acrylics is a 7 module online course.  The first module is the Orientation.  When you enrol you immediately get the Orientation Module to help you get set up, practice some of the skills you will need and prepare yourself to paint.  Every fortnight after that you receive the instructions for a new painting 1-6.  

FAQs

What level of experience do I need to do this course?

None.  You can do this course with no experience or with quite a lot of experience and still learn a lot and have fun creating these beautiful paintings.

Who should join?

Anyone ready to have a go, young or old.  With step by step instructions including videos and a supportive online group participants will learn to paint with confidence and to see nature around them differently.

What if I have to miss a session?

You will get an email each fortnight to release the next lesson with a year to access it as often as you like.

What is the timing of the course?

Enrolment is Open Now!  You get access to the Orientation module on sign up which gives everything you need to  get set up with materials, your creative space and how to’s. Orientation and Module 1 comes at the start and then 6 modules that cover a painting start to finish in each module.  
I don’t want you to feel under pressure to get a painting finished every week so I plan to send out the modules fortnightly.  You can cover the modules at your own pace.  In this way I hope the user group is at a roughly similar pace and can work together.  You can also join our private FaceBook Group 'How to Paint With Acrylics' to share your work, ask questions and feel part of a group.

What does the course include?

The course uses video and written material to support you to create beautiful paintings.  There are over 56 videos, including time-lapse (over 70 hours of video condensed to 6.43 hours). 
We will have an online user group to share your work and see how others interpret the same lessons. We start with an orientation module as soon as you sign up and then the 6 modules each covering the creation of a realist painting of Australian Flora end to end.

The techniques you will learn can be used to paint portraits or landscape, still life, but we start with nature, to help us learn about colour and form.

Orientation
Covers materials and getting ready with exercises in blending creating colour palettes and more.  I just made some bonus videos on Smart Memory - using your smart phone for learning about composition and also on setting up your painting space.

Modules 1 - 6 each cover the creation of 1 painting with Instruction videos for each part of the process as well as time-lapse videos of the creation of the painting.  

The paintings we create are chosen to cover different aspects of painting eg. creating impact, painting folds, creating depth, blending, colour intensity, shadows, smooth lines etc

We cover everything you’ll need to create a painting and then we do it 6 times creating 6 paintings to make sure you’ve got it!

  • Creating Depth
  • Compositions with impact
  • Blending
  • Why use certain materials
  • The Creative Process
  • Your Creative Space
  • Colour Palettes
  • Colour Intensity
  • The 8 Step Luscious Painting Model
  • Underpaintings
  • Making sure your painting makes sense
  • Tips on finishing the painting, technology and your painting
  • Getting on with Life while you paint

How can I pay?

You can pay here using your credit card one off payment or 3 instalments.  If you would prefer to pay me direct let me know.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. The program starts with the orientation module and  you can get a refund before module 1 starts no problem.

I create art to inspire others to see beauty and want more of it in the world. By connecting with nature and beauty around us we connect with our strongest selves.  

A self taught artist living between Melbourne and Adelaide my work has made it's way around the world. As an experienced educator I love to share the joy that painting gives me.
