Acrylic Landscape Painting: Techniques for Light, Shadow, and Color
with Wayne McKinzie
Sat, Aug 29 | 4pm-8:30pm
Cost: $65
Do your colors fall flat when you are creating your art? Do your paintings start to become muddy and lose definition?
In this class we will learn how colors interact and how to mix paint to a specific thickness and color. Why different colors placed together can cause perspective to change and even create a third color. We will learn different painting techniques using different sized and shaped brushes.
An image will be provided, and each student will begin to understand how to create an original piece of art, using their own insights and abilities. The goal is not necessarily to come away with a finished piece of art, but for the participants to gather knowledge and take this information with them to continue to create original artwork on their own.
Cost: $65 Students should bring their own acrylic paints, brushes and pallets. Wayne will provide primed boards for students to paint on. Here is a link to a paint set for anyone that is a beginning student. Link
