What you'll do

So what is alternative acrylics, we hear you cry? At Alternative Acrylics, it’s serious painting technique from a seriously talented artist… with not so serious subject matters.

We do find that the painting world is already full of *ahem* kinda boring subject matters. Fruit bowls? Yawn. Vases of flowers? Groan, not again. We’ll have a plethora of wacky and weird objects on hand for you to choose from to paint a masterpiece. Think vintage toys, epic skulls, rusty tin cans, illegal fireworks (you didn’t hear that from us)… You never know what delights you might uncover as your subject matter for your painting.

What about that technique we mentioned? This class will cover the basic and essential techniques of still life, including composition, light, and subject matter, and you’ll get experience mixing and blending acrylic paints.

You’ll be provided with two canvases- one to smash out a more “traditional” still life to hone your skills (there’s that damn fruit bowl) and then it’s onto your second masterpiece, where the more fun subject matters come out to play.

All paint / canvas and materials are supplied- come and spend a glorious few hours getting into your brain into creative gear and learning from one of Sydney’s finest artists.

Please note: This class requires at least 5 students to run. In the unlikely event that we don't get this number of students, we'll cancel the class and fully refund you and inform you via email, so please watch your email a few days prior to the class

My name is Stephen Evans, I am a full-time working artist with 30 years experience working as a scenic artist in film and theatre, Fine art and mural work. For the last 20 years I have run a studio / gallery in Bondi beach showcasing my work and producing artworks.

I have also run workshops in studios , galleries and schools. One of my painting methods, “Finger painting” is used to create fast, dramatic, scenic paintings and I would love to share this technique with people in this workshop.
