This versatile man-made polymer paint hit the art world in 1950s and has gained popularity ever since. Dilute the paints with water to create transparent washes of color in watercolor effect or use the paints thicker, building up layers of paint that can mimic oils. Create interesting textures through using brush strokes, palette knives and other objects and solutions added to the surface to create a mixed media. We'll explore line, color, value, texture, and composition in an informal setting. This class will have a studio approach with students working on their own subject matter with short teacher demonstrations when appropriate. Open to beginners and intermediates. Continuing and new students welcome.
