The Acrylic Abstract Portrait Course is a dynamic and creative program designed for amateurs enthusiasts of all levels who wish to explore the fusion of abstract art and portraiture. This course encourages participants to break free from traditional portrait techniques and embrace expressive, bold, and imaginative approaches using acrylic paints.

Learn to observe and apply value, colour, light and shadow using a reference photo. Explore the colour wheel, primary, secondary and complementary colours, colour psychology and basic facial proportions. Practise brushwork with brushes, palette knives, sponges and other tools, as well as texture, layering and glazing techniques. Experiment with deconstructing and reconstructing facial fea tures while developing an individual artistic approach. Guided exercises lead to a final abstract portrait, including planning, execution and preparation for presentation with varnishing.
