ACRYLIC PAINTING 101: Lesson 1 Hue Value Chroma

1/28/2022

Lesson 1 - Terms & Hue, Value & Chroma

Like every single medium there is consistent language that is regularly used to share ideas and concepts. Acrylic painting is not an exception.   In this video I go through the basic terminology that artists use to communicate with. This is language that I used through out the whole course and beyond.   As well, I do a quick demonstration of the 3 elements of Colour: Hue, Value & Chroma.   Find the link to download the handout for this lesson below.

ACRYLIC PAINTING 101: Basics for Beginners

1/22/2022

Supplies needed

This is a class that is designed for absolute beginners.  Someone like you, who might have gone to an acrylic paint night (pre-covid or post-covid) where you had such a great time that it sparked a deeper interested in learning to paint. Or you might be like me, who wanted to do acrylic painting for a long time but it took a while to get brave enough to to even attempt. I was unsure even where to start and mistakenly spent money for supplies that I ultimately never used and had to get rid of after I actually started painting. I hope that this video will save you both time and money.

Over the years I have taught this class many times.  Each time I go back through and tweak each lesson to contain the most up to date information that I have learned. This course is not exception.  Below is an image from way back in 2015 when I began to teach this class here in Yellowknife NWT until all our lives were all so rudely interrupted in 2020.

Below is the video for this week. I go through some of the supplies you will need.  I also show you the difference between the various acrylic paints and explain the differences between acrylic paint consistencies that you will find at the store.   I share some of my favourite paint brushes, metal palette knifes, masonite boards and so forth.

​Let's begin right now with the supplies that you're going to need to be successful with this class!
The Supply list can be found HERE
