About Us

Welcome to Acrylic Arts Academy — a welcoming place to learn acrylic painting in a calm, supportive, and beginner-friendly way.

We believe painting should feel accessible, relaxing, and encouraging, not intimidating or expensive. Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush for the first time or returning to creativity after years away, our goal is to help you enjoy the process and grow with confidence.

Our Mission

At Acrylic Arts Academy, we teach step-by-step acrylic painting designed for real people with real lives. Our lessons focus on clarity, comfort, and creativity — helping you slow down, learn at your own pace, and experience the joy of making art without pressure.

Painting isn’t just about technique. It’s also about well-being, self-expression, and personal growth. That’s why our approach blends practical instruction with encouragement and mindfulness, creating an experience that supports both skill-building and emotional wellness.

Founded by an Artist & Teacher

Acrylic Arts Academy was founded by Samantha Couste, an artist and painting teacher with a deep passion for helping others discover their creative potential.

After years of painting and teaching, Samantha saw a need for acrylic painting instruction that felt gentle, inclusive, and attainable — especially for beginners, adults, and seniors who wanted to learn without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Acrylic Arts Academy was created to meet that need and to make quality art education available to more people.

More Than Just Lessons

Acrylic Arts Academy is more than a collection of tutorials. It’s a learning community built around encouragement and accessibility.

We offer:

Beginner-friendly acrylic painting lessons
Free painting challenges and resources
A comprehensive online course with flexible pricing options
A supportive environment where progress matters more than perfection

Many of our resources are available at no cost, because we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to create — regardless of experience level or budget.

You Belong Here

You don’t need talent, expensive supplies, or prior experience to begin. You only need curiosity and the willingness to try.

If you’re looking for a calm, welcoming way to learn acrylic painting — one that values joy, confidence, and personal growth — you’re in the right place.
