Bonus Resources & Guides
Acrylic is one of the most versatile mediums in the world.
It dries fast. It layers beautifully. It can look like oil, or watercolor, or something entirely its own.
But that flexibility is exactly what trips artists up.
It dries before you’re ready. Colors shift as they set. Layers can turn muddy fast.
And without proper guidance or a clear process, it’s easy to overwork a painting into frustration.
That’s why so many acrylic painters spend years watching tutorials…
Yet still feel unsure when they sit down at the canvas.
It’s not a talent issue. It’s a structure issue.
And that’s exactly what Acrylic Live was designed to solve.
Who is This Special Live Event For?
Acrylic Live is for painters who:
- Are tired of muddy color, overworked layers, or second-guessing every brushstroke
- Want to understand why techniques work, not just copy what someone else did
- Feel stuck between “beginner basics” and truly confident, intentional painting
- Are ready to give themselves focused time to improve, instead of piecing things together from scattered tutorials
This is a live, three-day online event designed specifically for acrylic painters who want to stop guessing and start making confident decisions.
Across three focused days, you’ll watch master artists build paintings from the ground up, explaining not just what they’re doing, but why.
You’ll see how they approach color mixing, layering, edges, and composition — and how they avoid the traps that lead to muddy or overworked paintings.
You’ll experience:
- Live demos that show how professionals think through every stage of a painting
- Clear instruction on when to build, when to simplify, and when to stop
- A practical process you can apply immediately in your next piece

No problem! All ticket tiers include replay access, so you can rewatch sessions, pause, and paint along on your own schedule. Just choose the option that fits how you want to experience the event.
You will have streaming access on our platform. The bandwidth will vary depending on connection speed and many other factors, but we estimate around 5GB of data would get used for the event.
The demos are NEW content with some being live and some being pre-recorded with the artist talking live over the demo.
The Q&A will be a live text chat happening simultaneously with the prerecorded demo- very similar to our Facebook Live artist of the day events.
You’ll experience:
- How professional acrylic artists build a painting from first layer to final highlight
- Practical approaches to layering, glazing, edge control, and color mixing
- How to avoid muddy passages and overworked surfaces
- When to push a painting further — and when to stop
- How different masters solve the same compositional challenges in real time
- A clearer, repeatable way to approach your own acrylic process
