Acrylic Painting Classes – 4-Week Plan
Bring your favourite photo to life on canvas in this hands-on, personalized 4-week acrylic painting course. This is not a step-by-step class but a supportive space where you’ll receive tailored guidance and learn essential techniques to transform your chosen photo into a unique painting.
What You’ll Learn:
• Photo Selection and Preparation: Understand how to choose or adjust a photo to make it paintable. Learn what works best for composition, lighting, and simplicity.
• Techniques as You Paint: Explore blending, layering, brushwork, and texturing techniques directly applicable to your photo.
• Individualized Feedback: Receive one-on-one support to overcome challenges and refine your skills throughout the painting process.
Materials not included: I will send a list of good and affordable materials (canvas, tubes paint, brushes to get).
Weekly Breakdown:
• Week 1: Getting Started
Bring your selected photo, and we’ll discuss how to analyze and prepare it for painting. Begin sketching or creating an underpainting as a foundation.
• Week 2-3: Building the Background & Adding Structure and Form
Learn techniques for painting backgrounds, creating depth, and establishing the mood of your artwork. Start working on the main elements of your painting, focusing on proportions, colour blending, and creating dimension.
• Week 4: Details and Textures & Final Touches
Refine your painting by adding highlights, shadows, and textures. Learn how to emphasize key details to bring your subject to life. Add the finishing touches to your painting, including accents, edges, and glazing. Celebrate your progress and reflect on what you’ve learned.
Some people might be quicker and start a second painting during that time. It’s very flexible.

About
My name is Clémence Prosen
I am a Franco-Irish artist, designer and calm-life advocate, who combines her love of nature with a dedication to mindful living.
I paint mainly in oil, not in the traditional way as I do not use solvents or mediums to preserve the environment.
I will be teaching you acrylic paint, which is watersoluble and easier to learn at first.
