Title: Brett Greiman’s Dynamic Acrylic Painting Zoom Classes
Class Description:This class will introduce beginners as well as experienced acrylic artists to an understanding and creative utilization of the unique characteristics of acrylic paints. Also valuable and enjoyable for anyone who’s tried acrylics but seeks a more in-depth knowledge of the medium. Students will learn how this water based medium is different from other water mediums and it’s advantages over those other mediums. Knowledge will be shared on making informed buying decisions with acrylics and brushes. Brett will introduce students to his “modern grisaille” technique and the importance of value contrasts in your work. Also, techniques of layering as well as dry brush, wash, and glazing techniques. Learn what brushes work best.
New this year, a 10 week, very in-depth exploration of the amazing creative opportunities with heavy gel mediums and acrylic inks. This will involve making your own gel mediums, creating molded acrylic objects and acrylic skins, and subtractive methods. We will create one or two abstract paintings using these methods and the class will start with a look into what design aspects are needed to create a powerful, eye-catching abstract painting.
Learn about the power of color and how to use various color contrasts to make paintings that grab attention! Information on how to preserve your work will also be covered. A continued and fun experience for those who’ve joined Brett before as well as first timers!
