Acrylics
Using artist quality commercial paints, discover the many personalities of acrylics. You will feel how this buttery, viscous medium behaves similarly to oil paint in its ability to thickly cover surface and graduate colors one into one another in the aid of representational 3-dimensional illusion. Find how, unlike oil paints, acrylics easily lend the ability to color-block, defining and controlling hard edges to further non-representational and graphic designs.
Play with:
- Color Theory. Practice mingling pigments to mix and match, blend or bounce, and advance or recede.
- Two-Dimensional Design. For visual impact, become familiar with and manipulate the formal visual arts vocabulary.
