HOW IS MY COURSE COMPOSED

This course takes you through my entire process from the very beginning. No prior painting experience is required.

We start with the basics of acrylic painting, including brushwork and colour mixing. Then, we get into prepping our painting surface and selecting subject matter. Next, it’s applying the techniques we’ll be using for figurative painting to simpler 3D objects before we move on to painting people.

Once we get to people, we cover everything you might need with demos of hair, fabric, hands, limbs, faces, and the rules of proportion. Every module includes an artist advice video and a homework assignment to send you off with some guidance and next steps.

Join me on this and unlock your artistic potential!

Hello from Katie Butler

As a self-taught artist myself, I have leaned on friends, family, and internet resources to grow my art career for the last decade. Now that I share my progress and paintings online, I get lots of questions from newer artists about my style, process and techniques. That’s what inspired me to put together A Beginner’s Guide to Achieving Figurative Realism with Acrylic Paints. I poured everything I know about acrylic painting into this course, so that you can have all the answers you could want in one place.

IN MY COURSE YOU WILL LEARN

Welcome & Introduction

Our first module includes an overview of the course, the materials you’ll want and need, the basics of colour theory, and brushwork. You’ll get to practice colour matching, and I’ll talk about what defines my style, give some advice and leave you with some homework, as always.

Planning your Painting

Module 2 will prepare us to start our paintings off strong with some background knowledge on composition, line, and value. We’ll use contour drawings and transfer tools to get our painting surfaces ready with guidelines for our paintings.

Painting 3D objects

In Module 3, we put brush to canvas and start painting 3D objects. As a precursor to figurative realism, we will learn about transition shades and paint a still life scene together. We will end with our first demo of painting a portrait. 

Painting People

Now that we’re onto painting people, we dive into depicting different skin tones. Each demo for light, medium and deep skin tone focuses on a different element of figurative work, such as painting hands, profiles, and limbs.

Painting Hair & Fabric

In Module 5, we expand our skillset to paint different textures, including hair and fabric (common textures you will encounter with figurative work).
