Learn 3 Unique Ways To Create Your Own Abstract Acrylic Paintings

Abstract Painting Classes

Acrylic paint is an incredible material because it's ripe with possibilities. It dries quickly, making it perfect for painting whenever inspiration strikes. This type of pigment also has a lot of special mediums that you can add to it, making it as versatile as it is fun. But what are some of the ways in which you can use it? My Modern Met Academy is helping you explore them with a bundle of acrylic painting-focused classes. Called the Birthday Bundle, it’s in celebration of our first anniversary. From February 1 to February 28, 2023, get all three classes for $90, which saves you $15 if you were to buy them individually.

The three courses highlight the variety of ways you can use acrylic paint. They are: Acrylic Landscapes: Reimagining Mountains as Polygons with Elyse Dodge, Dream Your Own Abstract Acrylic Floral Paintings with Nitika Ale, and Dappled Light: Learn Abstract Painting with Acrylics taught by Megan Elizabeth.

These courses focus on abstract subject matter and showcase different techniques for achieving beautiful paintings. Dappled Light and Dream Your Own Abstract Acrylic Floral Paintings are great beginner-level options as they start with the basics that anyone can try, from mixing color on canvas to spraying it and achieving a drip effect.

Once you’re ready to level up, give Acrylic Landscapes a try. You’ll use Adobe Illustrator to design the painting and use a transfer technique to move it from screen to canvas. (If you don’t have Adobe Illustrator, that’s okay. Adobe offers a free trial and other imaging software will work, too.)

Check out each class below and then celebrate our anniversary with us when you purchase the Birthday Bundle until February 28, 2023.
