Acrylics | Exploring Underpainting

This full day workshop takes place at the beautiful Cockington Court in Torquay and is suitable for beginners and improvers. The course offers a practical introduction to underpainting techniques and how they can be used to strengthen colour, structure and depth within an acrylic painting.
Working step by step, you will learn how to build a painting from the ground up, beginning with tonal underlayers that establish composition, values and form before developing colour on top. We will explore how underpainting can unify a piece, influence mood and help guide later brushwork.
Throughout the day, you will be guided through a series of structured exercises designed to demonstrate different approaches to underpainting, from monochromatic tonal studies to more expressive colour grounds. You will then apply these techniques to create a resolved painting, gaining confidence in layering, glazing and colour development.
This workshop is ideal if you would like to better understand how to construct a painting and bring greater depth and cohesion to your work. All materials are provided.
