FALL 2011 ACRYLIC CLASSES

We are about to start a new semester so I wanted to let you all know what we will be doing in class.

I have gotten several requests to do glass and reflections so to kill two birds with one stone, that will be our project with the added bonus of values.

For the most part this is going to be a study in black and white, I will have some black for those who don't have any black - this is one of my exceptions to the rule - or you can make a dark color that will work just as well.

One of the things I notice with my students is the are afraid of the dark but unlike the creepy feelings you get walking around the house in the dark, you need the dark in your paintings to create a more dynamic painting and learning how to use all the values from white to dark is important in taking your work to another level.

I am also going to have the set up in class so you can see it in real life, the photos are for reference and detail.

Let me know if you have problems with the link to the picture page, I think I have it set for public but I could be wrong.

See you all soon.
