- **Event Description**: Intro Into Acrylic Art - A 4-Week Painting Program with Local Artist Joel Vanderduys.

Ready to finally pick up the paintbrush? Intro Into Acrylic Art is a thoughtfully designed 4-week program for beginners and emerging artists who want to build real confidence with acrylic painting—without the overwhelm. 

Led by local artist Joel Vanderduys, this course blends technical skill-building with creative exploration, guiding you from “where do I start?” to creating your own finished artwork on canvas.

What You’ll Learn

Over four weeks, you’ll be introduced to the foundations of acrylic painting techniques, materials, mediums and creative approaches in a supportive, inspiring studio environment.

Weeks 1–2: Technique & Exploration
We begin by building your visual language. You’ll experiment with a range of acrylic painting techniques and tools, including:

Brushwork and mark-making
Layering and blending
Texture, mediums and mixed media applications
Colour theory, mixing and palette development
Understanding composition and visual balance
This is your time to play, test, and discover what excites you.

Weeks 3–4: Your Canvas, Your Vision
With your new skills in place, you’ll begin your own acrylic painting on canvas, guided step-by-step by Joel.

You’ll be supported in developing your concept, refining your composition, and bringing your painting to life—resulting in a finished artwork you’ll be genuinely proud of.

Who This Is For

This program is perfect for:
Complete beginners wanting a structured introduction to acrylic painting
Creatives returning to art after time away
Anyone wanting to develop confidence with paint, colour, and composition
Students who enjoy a balance of technique and personal expression
No prior experience is needed—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.

Why You’ll Love It

At Aphrodite Art School, we believe learning art should feel supportive and inspired.
This isn’t a paint-by-numbers class. It’s a space to:
Learn real artistic techniques
Develop your own creative voice
Connect with like-minded people
Experience the quiet satisfaction of creating something from scratch
All within a studio environment that feels inspiring, calm, and considered.
