Aqua Media/ Acrylic and Collage: Experimental and Energizing

Aqua Media/ Acrylic and Collage: Experimental and Energizing
April 11-16, 2010 Â- This class that introduces you to new and experimental ways of painting with water based acrylics. Be ready to try one thing after another as we layer and use acrylic paint in various manners from transparent to translucent to opaque! Emphasis will be achieving line, depth and texture in your work using techniques of: resists, lifting staining, printing, scraping, collage, gold leaf, heavy gel medium and gesso. The focus of the workshop is abstract; however, combining abstract with realistic elements is an option. Students will be working on different hot press plate surface papers. Each day will include several demos and time for the student to work. Color mixing and basic design elements will be presented through demonstration and visual aids. Website: http://www.lanagrow.com/
