All Levels
Build colour in layers.
Develop your acrylic painting practice through composition, value, colour mixing and guided project work shaped around your interests.
Start with strong foundations.
Learn how design, value and colour decisions support a painting before building your own project over the final weeks.
Your painting direction
Work from a subject that interests you
Bring reference material you want to paint. Oksana adapts demonstrations and individual guidance to the interests and experience levels in the room.
Your six-week progression.
The course moves from planning and material choices into sustained painting time with demonstrations based on participant requests.
Composition and value
Explore the elements and principles of design, start a composition and paint a value study from reference material.
Substrates and colour mixing
Compare surfaces, build a colour wheel, mix tints, tones and shades, prepare a substrate and plan your painting.
Move from reference to painting
Develop a value sketch, choose your palette and substrate, and prepare the direction for your project.
Develop your project
Build your painting over three sessions with demonstrations, practical guidance and individual feedback.

Meet Oksana.
In Oksana’s words
Painting is how I search for and share the beauty that surrounds us. The Canadian landscape is my greatest inspiration, and I work primarily in transparent watercolour and acrylic. Whether travelling by car, canoe or on foot, I keep my sketchbooks and paints close, gathering the scenes that become the foundation for my work.
