Discover the Best Acrylic Painting Classes in Houston

Acrylic paints are a popular medium among artists. They’re easy to use, easy to clean, and versatile. Acrylics also tend to be less expensive than other mediums, which draws new painters to them. To begin acrylic painting, you’ll need acrylic paint in a few essential colors, paintbrushes in a variety of sizes, a painting surface, and an optional glass of water. Acrylic paints can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including canvas, paper, wood, and fabric. 

The characteristics of acrylic paint contribute to its popularity. It dries quickly, so you don’t need to wait too long in between sessions or to move your painting around. Acrylic paints are also water-based, so you only need water to thin them and clean the paint off your brushes. Traditional acrylic paints are fast-drying, but modern acrylic paints can also be used if you’re interested in reactivating them after drying. 

Why You Should Learn Acrylic Painting in Houston

If you’re troubled by stress and anxiety, painting may help you. Painting has been shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression when used as a form of therapy. Focusing all your attention on your painting also improves your attention to detail and ability to focus. 

Painting is one way to improve your creativity and explore your imagination. You can choose to paint realistic works or create an abstract painting. Either way, you’ll have to brainstorm and determine how to create the painting you’re imagining. You’re likely to run into mistakes along the way, which will give you experience with problem-solving and troubleshooting. For detailed instruction in acrylic painting that can help you avoid some common mistakes, look into acrylic painting classes taught by an artist. 

In-Person Acrylic Painting Classes in Houston

Sign up for an in-person acrylic painting class to receive in-depth demonstrations and expert instruction in using the medium. These classes will provide one-on-one support and guide you through the completion of one or more projects. Art studios and schools frequently offer classes in the Houston area. 

New and returning acrylic painting classes can be found on CourseHorse. They’ll specify if the class is open to beginner learners, intermediate learners, advanced learners, or all skill levels. Introductory classes will cover the basics of acrylic painting and a variety of beginner-level techniques. More advanced classes will teach advanced techniques and may have you working on large-scale or detailed projects. You can also reach out to local studios or schools to see if they’ll be teaching any acrylic painting classes in the future.

If you’re interested in learning how to use other painting mediums and methods, Multiplicity, an art studio in Katy, Texas, offers art classes for learners of all skill levels. Their class, Chalk Paint 101, will teach you the basics of using chalk paint. They also offer a four-day mixed medium summer camp for children ages eight to seventeen. 

Virtual Acrylic Painting Classes 

Virtual acrylic painting classes are an alternative to in-person classes. If there are no in-person classes offered in your area or if you can’t make the commute, see what online classes are available for your skill level on CourseHorse. 

These classes can be taken remotely from the comfort of your home or office. A professional will guide you through the class, answer your questions, and provide you with advice and feedback. Be sure to check out the supply list on the class page to see if you’ll need to purchase any materials before taking the class. While in-person classes will provide you with most materials, if you take an online acrylic painting class, you’ll likely be expected to procure all materials yourself. Some online classes, however, may ship you a material kit. 

The Evanston Art Center provides an introduction to acrylic painting in their class, Painting with Acrylics. Throughout the class, you’ll learn about color mixing, painting techniques, and composition when using acrylics. This online class is led by an expert instructor, but you’ll still receive one-on-one instruction and be encouraged to develop a personal style. Students are responsible for procuring all supplies, which can be found on the class supply list. 

The 92nd Street Y also offers an introduction to acrylics for beginners in their class, Acrylic Painting for Absolute Beginners. This class will focus on creating depth and luminosity in your paintings. To do so, you’ll be encouraged to explore textures and different surfaces. A detailed supply list has been provided and can be found on the class page. 

Acrylic adheres well to many surfaces, including fabric. Sign up for La Pittura Art Studio’s tote bag painting class to learn how to paint on a canvas tote bag with acrylics. The studio will send you a DIY kit containing most of the materials needed to take the class. You’ll only need to have paper towels and a glass of water on hand. The studio also encourages groups to sign up for this class to take together. 

Private Group Acrylic Painting Classes in Houston

Would you like to book a private group acrylic painting class for a group of friends to enjoy or as a team-building activity for your business or organization? If so, check out the classes that CourseHorse can deliver to you. 

Even the newest painters can succeed in CourseHorse’s virtual Acrylic Painting workshop. You and your group will work on recreating an image using acrylic paints. You’ll be supervised by an expert instructor who will guide you through using acrylics on canvas. However, if your group is more interested in non-traditional forms of art, consider signing up for CourseHorse’s Acrylic Pour Art class. At the end of the class, your group will understand how to use pourable acrylic paint to create uniquely painted canvases. 

Contact CourseHorse through the contact form on their website to learn more about the acrylic painting classes they can offer your group. You can also discuss the other group arts and crafts classes they offer that might fit your group’s needs. 

CourseHorse will supply all participants with the materials needed to take your class. This includes acrylic paints and a painting surface. Participants 21 and older can also pay an additional $30 to receive a bottle of wine with their materials. 

CourseHorse does not charge booking fees. They also allow free cancellations up to two weeks before your class is scheduled. If you’d like to check out a class before booking it to be sure that it’ll interest your group, you can pay $100 to receive a 20-minute demo. 

Zoom is the preferred online video platform for delivering CourseHorse classes. However, if you provide the meeting details, they can accommodate Google Meets, Microsoft Teams, or WebEx.
