This is 5-week Course starting late February with our new Acrylics Art Teacher Riya Gupta. Learn to paint realistically with acrylics using observation and reference. Start with simple subjects like fruit, building skills in proportion, blocking in shapes and shadows, colour mixing, and paint handling. Progress to slightly more complex subjects, such as glass or flowers, while learning how to simplify and respond to what you see. Students may follow a shared reference or choose a similar subject of their own. The focus is on process, observation, and building confidence through guided practice. Suitable for students with little or some experience. No prior experience required. Note: $3 per colour print will be required (no tap-and-pay available) Materials list will be provided upon receipt of payment. About Riya: Riya has been studying art from an early age through a range of structured courses and formal programs. In addition to her academic training, she has pursued private instruction under experienced artists, further strengthening her technical and conceptual skills. She continues to expand her practice through a combination of curated paid programs and independent learning through reputable online resources. A passionate and experimental artist, Riya brings experience in both creative practice and art instruction. Her work is rooted in expressive, process-driven approaches, where emotion and instinct guide creation, and the act of making becomes a means of exploring ideas and personal narratives. She has taught art primarily through online platforms, fostering inclusive and engaging learning environments that encourage experimentation and creative confidence. Riya has exhibited her work in a group exhibition at AIFACS Gallery, New Delhi. Her professional focus lies in making art accessible while nurturing a thoughtful, exploratory relationship with materials, processes, and ideas.
