Acrylic Painting Demonstration – Expressive Portrait

Join this live demonstration exploring expressive portrait painting in acrylics, focusing on character, mood, and personality rather than photographic likeness.

Participants can expect to see how a portrait develops from simple shapes and tonal values into a vibrant and engaging painting using bold brushwork, layered colour, and expressive mark-making. The demonstration will show how to simplify facial features, create a sense of presence, and use colour and texture to convey emotion and individuality.

Suitable for all levels, this session offers practical techniques and inspiration for creating confident, expressive portrait paintings with a contemporary feel.
