Simplified Acrylic Painting l, Helen Solomon
Helen Solomon I
Thursdays 1:00-3:00
This intermediate class teaches the elements of art and the principles of design more in-depth.
Students will explore basic art media and techniques. In this course, we will be working with acrylic paint and its mediums and how they are the simplest and most effective way for any artist to learn how to paint successfully. Acrylics can be used in thin layers like watercolors or in thicker, more opaque applications like oil paint. They can be diluted and brushes cleaned with water, making them simple to use and odorless. We will learn all about acrylic painting methods from underpainting and glazing to impasto and textural effects. We’ll cover setup and materials, color mixing and pigment choice, brush handling, and palette-knife techniques. The subject and reference are completely your choices.
