Unlock the Mysteries Behind the New Acrylics
Are you in love with acrylics paints, but mystified by the mediums? Do you use acrylic mediums as workhorses, rather than experimenting and playing with the infinite and awesome possibilities they could bring to your artistic practices? In the following series of workshops, I will show you how to unfold the mysteries and explore the limitless uses and creative technical applications of acrylic mediums with acrylic paints and mixed media, in either abstract or representational artworks.
Workshop 1 - Acrylic Polymer & Gel mediums - The Ground - How to create beautiful transparent washes
