Ultimate Guide to One Stroke Acrylic Painting for Beginners

This course is an introduction to one stroke painting using acrylic paint.

One stroke painting is a decorative painting technique in which the artist loads the brush with two (or more) different colours simultaneously to create a unique blending effect. This works especially well to depict the delicate nuances of flowers and leaves.

The one stroke painting technique can be used to create beautiful florals on paper, glass, wood and fabric.

This class focuses on practising this technique using acrylic or oil paints.

This class is beginner-friendly and will start out with basic one stroke brush strokes. From there we will cover basic petals and leaves and gradually build up the skills to make the painting.

By the end of the class, you will have learned multiple one stroke techniques and learned how to use those techniques to create various flowers.
