Description
In this two-day workshop, artist and instructor Marla McCormick will demonstrate and explain how she uses acrylic paints on watercolor board to achieve depth and realistic details in a painting. Working from photographs, either yours or hers, you will learn the basics of mixing and applying acrylic paints to watercolor board. Discover how transparent washes and translucent glazes can help you achieve depth in a painting. Also learn which brushes to use, when, and with what mixture of paint, to produce realistic effects. Explore the relationships between light and dark and see how the balance adds to the realism of the painting. Note that the supply fee covers watercolor board, paint, and brushes sufficient for use in the class, should you need them. We will not be painting on canvas or using oil paints. See the Supply List for other suggested and needed materials, and also see the Class Objectives for more specific information.
