RSVP for Acrylic: The New Watercolor
Olbrich Gardens 3330 Atwood Ave., Madison, Wisconsin 53714
press release: If visions of harshly colored gobs of paint come to mind when you hear the word "acrylic," you are not alone. This three-day workshop will blow that perspective out the window! Through a simple, step-by-step exercise, you will learn a unique acrylic technique that involves diluting paint from a tube and applying it with feathering stroke layers of translucent color. It produces a stroke-free final appearance with unlimited potential for extremely tight details and dramatic color and lighting. Acclaimed botanical artist Rhonda Nass will guide you in completing a small painting of a tomato and leaf in class, and then you will begin a customized painting and gain enough expertise in the three days to confidently complete your own acrylic original at home. Basic drawing and painting experience needed. A supply list will be sent to you upon registration; some supplies provided. Bring a bag lunch. Limited space; register early.
