Description
Hello and welcome to Acrylic Mixing for the Complete Beginner!
In this fun, basic mixing course, you will learn all you need to know to start working with acrylic paints. Mainly, you will learn how to mix colors in acrylic. We will do this by making a color wheel with all the primary, secondary and tertiary colors, as well as three samples of neutral greys made by mixing complementary colors.
In addition to mixing, we will walk through all the materials you will need as well as some that are optional, how to set up your workspace and your palette, how to use a palette knife for mixing colors and managing your palette, how to navigate the opacity (and sometimes the translucency) of acrylic paint, and just a bit about how to paint as well.
I will walk you through each step thoroughly. As we go, I will address the questions that I hear and stumbling blocks that I have often seen in my classes over the years. And of course, I would love it if you’d like to reach out and offer feedback or ask any questions, or address concerns that I did not bring up here.
By the end of the course, you will be well on your way to being able to mix any color you’d like. You will also have a good understanding of some of the basic properties of acrylic paint, as well as a firm foundation for purposefully and accurately mixing colors. Thank you for taking this course, and I hope you enjoy it!
