Have you ever wanted to paint, but
were not sure where to start? Do you paint in acrylics but think you could have
better control of your materials? Join Corrine Loomis Dietz, Certified GOLDEN
Working Artist, for this intense, 5 hour workshop geared toward making sense of
the technical aspects of acrylics and finding your groove. Learn tips to
control the brush, palette, color mixing and drying times. We will explore a
triad of Fluid Acrylics, mixing with polymer mediums to develop an understanding
of modern color mixing. Utilizing a series of exercises, we will discover the
beautiful versatility of fluids as we pursue layers of washes and glazes. In
the second half of the workshop, we use Heavy Body acrylic to extend the color
with Gels to develop textures and alter luminosity. With this thicker viscosity
of paint, we will explore the mineral (inorganic pigments) to examine opacity,
color mixing and impasto techniques. Expect loads of information, money saving
tips and new reference for your work. I recommend this hands-on event for any
artists needing a refresher or a full jump start into acrylics.
Media: Acrylics. Skill level: all
skill levels welcome. Age Range
Cost for the
one day workshop is $95 for CAM members and
$105 for non-members. Class size: min. 6/max. 12. Registration ends November 1, 2016 . For online registration
