Taught by none other than Chantel Barber herself — one of the best acrylic painters of our generation!
No matter where you are in your painting journey, Chantel’s distinctive approach will help you transform into a much stronger artist.
Chantel is a very ambitious woman … extremely ambitious...
Before she fell in love with acrylics in 1990, Chantel had been drawing people using oils since she was 11 years old...
She knew her passion was for creating portraits using an impressionistic and loose style, and that was best suited to oil paints...
But one day she got curious: “Why can’t I use acrylics to achieve the same outcome as oils?”
She was determined to find the answer, but struggled to find anyone who could teach her.
On top of that, the artists she knew said acrylic was best used for abstract work and bold graphics — NOT portraiture.
She knew the two mediums were completely different...
But like a true artist, she decided to break all the rules.
She spent the next 30 years exploring and honing her acrylic techniques, doing things almost no other artist could replicate without her personal guidance.
Which is why Chantel is the perfect teacher to help strengthen your art techniques — even if acrylic is not your primary medium.
She’ll reveal how you can bridge the gap between oil and acrylic techniques to create something exceptionally unique to you.
