  • Lessons in the key thematic points of Magical Realism  
  • An understanding of the components of Magical Realism, such as a combination of figurative and abstract techniques, an uncertain atmosphere and a complex composition 
  • Guided demonstrations in the technical aspects of acrylic painting 
  • A chance to experiment with acrylic painting in a supportive and engaging environment 
  • Elephant Academy Technique Takeaway: Learn how to create Magical Realist paintings 

Discover the techniques of Magical Realism in this online acrylic painting course, taught by Liane Lang. Over six weekly sessions, explore a surreal and dream-like approach to painting, including techniques of abstraction and surreal blending of genres and textures. Liane will provide an in-depth exploration of the rich historical context of Magic Realism relating to literature, art and culture. Students will study the techniques of acrylic painting alongside the methods of artists in the Magical Realist tradition and work towards creating their own paintings that have a powerful sense of atmosphere. By the end of the course, students will be encouraged to develop their own Magical Realist compositions independently with the support of peer feedback.
