Impressionist Acrylics Techniques

🎨 Impressionist Acrylic Painting Workshop

Step into the world of colour, light, and expressive brushwork in this relaxed and inspiring acrylic painting workshop at the Cornish Craft Barn.

Inspired by the Impressionists, you’ll explore how to capture atmosphere and movement using loose, confident brushstrokes and a vibrant colour palette. Rather than focusing on fine detail, this workshop is all about learning to see differently — simplifying shapes, layering colour, and building paintings that feel full of life.

Working with acrylic paints, you’ll be guided through techniques to help you loosen up your style, gain confidence with colour mixing, and create a finished piece inspired by landscapes, florals, or everyday scenes.

This is a welcoming, beginner-friendly session with gentle guidance throughout — perfect for anyone wanting to try painting, or for those looking to move away from tight, detailed work and towards a more expressive style.

✨ What you’ll learn:

• How to paint with loose, expressive brushstrokes
• Understanding light, colour, and atmosphere
• Simple colour mixing for vibrant, harmonious palettes
• Techniques for building a painting in layers

🎨 Perfect for:

• Complete beginners
• Those wanting to loosen up their painting style
• Anyone who loves colour and expressive art
