Is that an Oil Painting 4 day workshop
Level of expertise; intermediate to advanced

Using acrylic glazes on canvas, the student will create two studies for murals of amazing depth and richness. One painting will be on a dark ground and one will be on a light ground. The student will learn how to use colored glazes and the actual ground to develop murals that glow with color. Acrylic paintings have often been criticized for their "rawness" and lack of subtlety. This technique of glazing plus the accompanying demonstrations of color theory will solve those issues. Problems of subtle shading and development of form will also be addressed, and the student will be instructed in how to work as efficiently and effectively as possible to develop their large murals by glazing with sponges and rollers of alternating layers of glaze.
