Golden Acrylic : Lecture/ Demonstration
Saturday, May 3rd : 2-4pm
Join Us for an In-Store Lecture/ Demonstration with:
Golden Working Artist: Valerie Allen
This talk is filled with “need to know” information for artists of all skill levels. With the benefit of visual examples, hands-on samples of products and explanations on the science of paint, you will spend an informative, fast-paced hour and a half, expanding your knowledge of acrylic paints.
You will learn more about:
• Mineral and Modern Pigments –Color theory that relates to clean color mixing, glazing and creation of new colors.
• The difference between “heavy body” and “fluid” acrylics.
• Using innovative effects with interference and iridescent colors to expand your palette.
• Discovering how acrylics can simulate oil, watercolor, even encaustic techniques, yet are infinitely more versatile.
Plus much more information on gels, mediums and grounds to help you make the decisions you need to use acrylics to express your artistic vision. All participants will receive free product samples and a literature packet, including hand-painted color charts.
Here are a few examples of Valerie Allen’s work. To see more visit http://valerieallen.artroof.com/
