Building Skills Acrylic Paint Class – Light, Shadow and Form

Painting Realistic Form with a Limited Palette

We begin by slowing down and focusing on the foundation of all great painting, value.

In this class, we’ll work with a monochromatic (single-color) palette to remove the distraction of multiple colors and truly study light and shadow. You’ll learn how highlights, midtones, and cast shadows work together to create realistic form and dimension.

This is where paintings begin to feel three-dimensional instead of flat.

Perfect for beginners and growing artists alike, this workshop builds confidence in blending, contrast, and brush control while creating a simple still life study that feels rich and dimensional.

You’ll leave understanding how light shapes everything you paint.
