Here, we’ll explore what makes Acrylic University so special, featuring glowing reviews from its members.

How Does AU Work?

The heart and soul of Acrylic University is the membership. We only accept new students into the membership a few times per year. You can join the waitlist to get notified when we open next by clicking HERE

Membership is $49/month, $497 annually or $1249 lifetime. It includes:

• Weekly LIVE classes with replays. These happen Fridays at 10 AM PST
• The Library - a huge vault of pre-recorded courses from us that cover basics, color theory, design, composition and so much more

In addition to our membership, we have a year-round program called The Mini Painting Challenge. In these courses, we challenge you to paint for at least 30 minutes every week. To help you with this, we send you:

• 1 simple painting lesson every week. Lesson is 30 minutes - 1 hour, depending on the course
• An easy to use supply list for the course when you sign up
• A high quality reference photo for that week's lesson

You don't have to think about it, you just sit down and paint! You can find these at MiniatureChallenge.com

In addition to all of that, we have free resources you can get access to below this article
