In this expressive tutorial, Anita Pounder explores the art of painting an abstract skyscape using acrylics. With inspiration drawn from three different reference images, Anita combines elements to create a bold, dramatic sky. She shares her approach to selecting colours—alizarin crimson, indanthrene blue, white, and gold — to evoke atmosphere and emotion, showcasing how these hues bring a dynamic energy to the piece.
Anita guides you through the versatility of acrylics, demonstrating how to layer, adjust, and refine shapes as your vision unfolds. From softening areas with a brush to making impactful linear marks with a painting knife, this session is ideal for artists wanting to explore colour, texture, and composition. Dive into the creative freedom of abstract work and experience the power of acrylics to enhance drama and depth in your painting.
