This class will create a new painting. The teacher will select an original painting to teach for every class. There will be no repeats. Reference images will be posted under the "Classroom" area before the meetings.

This class is designed for students who want to learn the art of Painting. Basic color theory and color mixing will be explored as well as textures and techniques. Instructors will use a step by step approach to demonstrate techniques, such as under-painting, illusion of transparency, shadows and highlights, and value layering to illustrate foreground, middle ground and background. Students will also learn how to incorporate perspective and color theory into a painting, and add depth and luminous warmth with acrylic washes and glazes. They will learn about choosing paints, painting surfaces, and how to make the most of their paint and brushes as they paint. Everyone will work at their own pace. No previous skills are required.

Once they built a solid foundation and keep practicing, they will be able to design a multitude of unique acrylic paintings. Classes are highly interactive and students will have the opportunity to socialize and share their ideas in a fun and upbeat environment.

Mandatory Video Check-In
Video check-in is mandatory for safety purposes per Outschool policy. Students are required to have their cameras on to allow the teacher to check in and verify each learner. After check-in, students have the option of either turning off their camera or leaving it on, whatever is their preference. Younger learners are highly encouraged to leave their cameras on.

Missed Classes & Refunds
All our classes are backed by the ‘Limited’ refund policy. Parents may withdraw up to a week before class starts with a full refund OR within 24 hours of purchase. In the event a learner misses a class, recordings are made available in each classroom. Students are more than welcomed to reach out for any questions and share their work in the classroom.

Late/ Missed Class
All classes will begin on time as long as one learner is in the classroom. In the event that no students are in the classroom at the assigned class time, the teacher will leave a message in the classroom and exit after ten minutes of waiting per Outschool policy.

Minimum Enrollment & Class Cancellation
A minimum of two learners is required for every class to run. In the event that we have to cancel a class, parents will be notified within 24 hours of class. Learners will have the option of either transferring to a more populated section of the same class or receiving a full refund, whichever is preferred.

Technical Difficulties
In the event of class delay/ cancellations due to unforeseeable technical issues, all families will be notified and a make-up section will be posted, or a refund will be issued if a make-up class cannot be scheduled.
