Murray Charteris – Getting Started with Acrylics

Acrylic paints are a great and easy way to start painting. Their properties make them easy to handle for beginners as well as uniquely versatile for experts.

This course explains the difference between different types of paint, their strengths and weaknesses, and why I mostly use acrylics in my artwork.

I’ll show you different types of brushes and how to use them, how to arrange your palette of colours, then we delve into brushwork techniques specifically for acrylic paint.

We’ll use a variety of techniques and brushwork to create a finished painting of clouds.

This is everything you need to know about how to start using acrylic paints.
