Downtown Porto Acrylic Painting Workshop for Groups or Individual
Overview
The session begins with a practical introduction to color theory, covering light and shade, blending, and complementary tones. Using a 21x30 cm acrylic canvas, you’ll explore layering, toning, and creating visual effects that bring your ideas to life.
Next, you’ll learn the key properties of acrylics, from brush techniques, pressure, and angles to diluting with water and working with drying layers. You’ll also practice background painting, color veiling, and other techniques that help each stroke convey your vision.
Participants can choose to replicate base designs provided or create an original composition from scratch, while our instructors provide guidance and feedback to refine technique and complete each artwork.
