Vivid, bright colors and opaque layers - working with acrylic paints is fascinating with its versatility.

Do you already enjoy painting with acrylic paints or would you like to try out this technique for the first time? Would you also like to expand your creative painting skills?
In this course, you will learn the basics of composition, image structure and color design step by step. We will explore the diversity of acrylic painting and develop personal painting ideas together.
On the one hand we work according to specific instructions, on the other hand there is plenty of room for free and creative design. Depending on the interests and needs of the participants, the course can be adapted flexibly. At the end of the course, you will have an individual collection of your own paintings in your hands.

Anyone who would like to try out acrylic painting and exchange ideas with others in a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere is welcome. No previous knowledge required.

The 8-part course starts on Monday 12.01.2026 and always takes place from 18:00 to 20:00. The last day of the course will be 16.03.2026.
