Our mission is to "bring beauty to the world by helping artists flourish." So, welcome, artistic friend.

ACRYLIC PAINTING TUTORIAL: HOW TO PAINT SUNLIGHT THRU TREES By Jed Dorsey • 24 Dec, 2022 Light, Light, Always The Light... When people ask me what I like to paint, I always give the same answer: "Light." The subject itself could be almost anything - a road, a farm, a river, an alley, a garbage can, a mountain - that part really doesn't matter to me. It's how the light is affecting the scene that interests me. Light can transform the scene, making virtually anything a potentially great subject for a painting.

Rating Average: 5.00 rating out of 22 reviews Write a review Acrylic University Cheryl Morgan 1 year ago I joined Acrylic University over a year ago. The training skills and improvement I've acquired have given me the confidence to believe in myself and my abilities to create beauty no matter what challenges arise. The instructors are exceptional and share their art knowledge with humor, patience and love. The AU community is like a happy family and likewise provides encouragement and guidance and everyone embraces one another in a caring and safe environment with no judgment, only kindness; for beginners and experienced alike. I'm a lifetime member now and feel blessed to be part of such an amazing group. Thank you AU! Read More Nancy Murphy 1 year ago Amazing. Best present I ever gave myself. The lesson are very detailed, lots of practise paint alongs and the instructors are so talented and inspiring. Jed and team are so supportive, it feels like a big family. If you ever wanted to try painting, I highly recommend Acrylic University. Read More BJ Gardner 1 year ago I have been a member of Acrylic University for nearly two years. In that time I have grown in skills and confidence in acrylic painting. The instruction by Jed Dorsey, Dianna Shyne and a host of accomplished acrylic artists are key to my growth as an artist. This membership has been the best investment! Read More Ella Bella 1 year ago Really exceptional core content for all levels of painters and great perspectives from guest artists. AU continually expands its offerings. Jake Dorsey, Diana Shyne, Jennifer Bowman, Amy Erickson, Brian Buckrell…so many talented instructors and artistic styles to explore. I just went from a monthly to lifetime membership and find it great value. No risk, you can try a month or two or more and you aren’t locked into anything. Read More nancy claire hansen 1 year ago Comprehensive, flexible with my schedule, and so much fun! Deborah Miller 1 year ago I have been painting for about 5 years now and usually on other tutorials or just on my own. I really wanted someplace with like minded lovers of art. Many levels of expertise, from beginners to some awesome experienced painters. The AU community is helpful and so positive. I love the teaching that is so easy to follow. If you are looking for someplace that has amazing teaching and the opportunity to grow in your art skills, this is the place. Read More Sheelin Prinzinger 1 year ago Excellent teachers and a wonderful community of painters. I've come so far in a short time in my ability to translate my ideas into a painting. Read More jaclyn dionne 1 year ago AU is an amazing opportunity to truly study painting and put those concepts to work for you with methodologies that work. There are comprehensive modules on all the fundamentals that are necessary to develop as an artist and then lots more for fine tuning your skills. The 101 modules are logically approached to guide your development. You can systematically work through from one lesson to another, but you also have the option to hop around to get the information you need when you want it. The system keeps track of what you’ve watched - which is wonderful. The set-up is built to accommodate artists at any experience level. Whenever I’m about to tackle something that’s new for me or for when I want to see how someone else tackles a topic, I head to the library and sure enough there’s a lesson or two (or 3) to help me prepare - that’s so incredibly valuable. The weekly video sessions are terrific as there’s something new and refreshing to explore each Friday. This helps to keep your painting practice exciting and not just about completing lessons. The community is wonderful as well. It’s a safe place to show your work, share ideas, ask questions, or to ask for feedback on something you’ve painted. Read More Jessica Wimer 1 year ago I've been a member of Acrylic University for almost a year now. I can't beleive how much I've improved. I paint almost everyday and still haven't been able to get to all the lessons provided. I've only been painting for 2 years but there is content for the beginner to experienced painter. Also there are guest artists to learn different styles Read More Kristina Murray 1 year ago I love the sense of community and beautiful paintings. As a busy student I most appreciate the recordings so I can paint with Jed and Dianna whenever I get a break. I have taken many classes but this is by far my favourite place to be. Read More Chrystal Davis 1 year ago Acrylic University is amazing! I have learned so much and love to paint.The courses are fun and very informative. The artists and staff are so helpful, knowledgeable, and professional! I would recommend this course to everyone who want to learn to pain acrylics in a fun environment!!!!! Read More Roberta Fletcher 1 year ago Acrylic University has everything I could hope for to assist my journey with painting in acrylic plus tons of help in color theory, perspective, values, mark making, etc. There are also lesson blocks on specific topics such as landscape trees, water, etc. At Acrylic University you get to learn from many different artists besides the two resident artists, Jed Dorsey and Dianna Shyne. I am so glad that I am a member of Acrylic University. Read More Shirley Toy 1 year ago Acrylic University offers so many lessons and inspiring demo's and tips.

If you are interested in learning how to paint in acrylics, I highly recommend AU. Read More J E 1 year ago I am a lifetime member of AU and so pleased I signed on. The online communities in AU are totally helpful and encouraging. The instructors are all excellent and offer teaching unique to their style and experience. There are various memberships offered from month-by-month to lifetime, several challenges by different artists that provide weekly demos so you can paint a 6x6 miniature each week, monthly guest artists, a library full of videos and instruction and so much more. AU has my highest recommendation if you are in the market for quality, varied instruction applicable to any medium you prefer. Read More Carla Rogozinski 1 year ago I recently joined AU and am having a fantastic experience. The instruction is amazing and professional. I am learning so many new techniques and my artwork has been improving. I’m also doing a mini challenge which encourages me to paint more frequently. Each artist/instructor brings something different so that you can eventually “find your own way”. I highly recommend AU! Read More Doug Greenman 1 year ago Life changing. Literally. In all the best of ways! Couldn’t recommend Acrylic University more highly. Delores Mills 1 year ago Wonderful art lessons weekly as well as extensive library of classes, everyone there has the best positive attitude and encouragement for their students Read More Jackie Garroutte 1 year ago Of all the groups I have seen and youtube lessons taken....this group is far and above!! Not only are there literally hundreds of lessons on AU but there is a wonderfully helpful group of people on Facebook. Rather than simply tutorials teaching you to paint a particular thing there are lessons teaching how to handle acrylics, color theory, still life and landscape lessons and finding your own artistic voice. While Jed Dorsey is the main teacher Dianna Shyne also does lessons and it is incredible to be taught by artists of this caliber!! We also have many guest artists that demo and artist interviews as well such as Teddi Parker, Brian Buckrell and MANY MORE. THIS GROUP IS FOR BEGINNERS AND MORE EXPERIENCED ARTISTS! I CANNOT RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH!! YOU GET SO MUCH MORE THAN OTHER GROUPS OR LESSON TYPES!! AU also has mini challenges where we create 6x6 inch paintings to keep you painting every day. This is well worth the investment of time and money!! THANK YOU TO JED AND DIANNA AND EVERYONE AT AU!! Read More Ana Torres 1 year ago Hi, AU is just more than watching videos.

Yes, absolutely, you can cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel your subscription within 30 days, we will refund all of your money - no questions asked. We believe strongly in what we do and we want you to be thoroughly satisfied. * DO I NEED TO USE ACRYLIC PAINTS? The short answer is no. The vast majority of what we teach is foundational to all painting mediums. So, if you wanted to use oils, for instance, you would find most of the main principles are totally applicable to you, but there would just be some differences in technique as the mediums have different properties. The longer answer is that while you COULD use a different medium, there are SO many reasons to paint with acrylics! 1. Water Cleanup: Acrylic paints clean up easily with water. You will never need to expose yourself or others to special solvents or thinners when you are using acrylic paints. 2. Fast Drying: I love the fact that I can touch my paintings after a short time and not worry about getting wet paint on myself or what's around me. This makes it much easier to store and transport paintings without all the headache you'd have if they were still wet. Also, when I want to make a change to a painting I can do it quickly. 3. Super Versatile: Acrylic paints can be applied to almost any surface because they adhere so well. They can also be applied very thin and transparent or very thick and impasto-like without having to worry about rules like "thick over thin" because of their quick drying properties. Acrylic paintings are easy to frame because they don't need to be protected with glass. 4. Cost Effective: Acrylic paints are fairly inexpensive when compared to other mediums. This means that you can paint and practice with freedom without being too concerned about cost. 5. Travel Easily: Because they are non-toxic and don't require fancy thinners, you can travel the world with your acrylic paints and never worry about boarding a plane with hazardous materials.
