Acrylic paint is easy to work with, and a great option when you are beginner as you’ll find on this two day course with experienced tutor and artist Nancy McLennan Hughes. It dries quickly and there are many ways in which you can paint with it, from watercolour effects, through to nearly looking like oil paint. It also lends itself to plenty of playful experimentation, which we will do lots of. You'll come away with knowing how to take a painting from start to finish!
