During this one-hour course, you will start to build your skills and confidence working with acrylic. The course covers tints, shades, gradation, underpainting, mixing with complementary colours, artists’ black and culminates in a small painting.
Once you have watched the professional development, you will be able to download a certificate that includes your name, the name of the course, and the duration. Although the video is 1 hour, the duration of the course is 2 hours to allow you time to complete the tasks within.
This course is ideal if you are new to teaching or at the start of your career and would like the opportunity to dedicate some time to improving your acrylic skills and knowledge.
The course includes a range of resources to support your learning, such as a worksheet, colour wheel, and my ‘good example’.
Materials Required: Acrylics in these specific colours: Cadmium Yellow and Red, Ultramarine, Emerald Green, Black, White and either Prussian or Phthalo Blue. A flat brush and a round brush. I’d also recommend your favourite hot beverage or tipple and a delicious snack. After all, art is meant to be fun.

Such a clear introduction to the use of acrylic paint. The structure of the video was concise and easy to follow with useful information including relevant terminology and examples of different artists’ work. Being able to work along with the video gave excellent first hand knowledge to pass onto my students. The printable resources are also super helpful. I’m looking forward to using what I have learnt along side the ‘Painting with Acrylic’ resources also available. Thank you so much.
Hi Olivia, Thank you so much for this excellent review. I’m so pleased you found the course helpful and that you’re looking forward to putting it into practice.
Thank you so much for this!
I thoroughly enjoyed painting along to this (during the summer holidays with my daughter) and have already been able to apply some new knowledge gained to my lessons with KS3, 4 and 5!
I am looking forward to working myself through more of your courses, enjoyable and so good that I can access them whenever it suits me and my busy teaching career and family life! Thank you!
Hi Tina, Thank you so much for this feedback. I’m so pleased you have already been able to apply the knowledge gained through the course and that you plan to do more. Thanks, Sarah
Loved learning how to make artist black, never have I been introduced to that before. The mixing of colors is wonderful, can’t wait to get back to school and teach my students about color! Thank you!
Hi Lindahl, Thank you for this 5-star review – I really appreciate it. I’m so pleased that you are excited to get back and teach your students about colour!
