5-week Acrylic Landscape Course

Service Description

Learn the fundamentals of acrylic landscape painting in this 5-Week Acrylic Landscapes for Beginners Course at IN ART Studio in Calgary.

Designed specifically for beginners, this course will introduce you to acrylic painting step by step while exploring a variety of landscape subjects. Over five weeks, you’ll learn how to work confidently with acrylic paint, mix colours, create depth and atmosphere, and build a landscape from the first sketch to a finished painting.

No previous painting experience is required, and all professional art supplies are included.

What You’ll Learn

Throughout the five weeks, we’ll explore:

• Acrylic painting materials and how to use them
• Essential brush techniques and paint application
• Colour theory and colour mixing
• Creating natural greens and landscape colour palettes
• Painting skies and clouds
• Trees, foliage, fields and natural textures
• Light, shadow and tonal values
• Creating foreground, middle ground and background
• Basic perspective and depth
• Layering and blending acrylic paint
• Expressive brushwork and texture
• Simplifying photo references
• Landscape composition and focal points
• Taking a painting from initial sketch to finished artwork

Each class includes instructor demonstrations, step-by-step guidance, hands-on painting and individual feedback.

Perfect for Beginners

This course is ideal if you’ve always wanted to try acrylic painting but weren’t sure where to begin, or if you’ve painted on your own and would like more structured instruction.

The goal is not simply to copy a finished painting. You’ll learn the fundamental principles behind successful landscape painting so you can continue creating your own artwork with greater confidence.
