WORKSHOP OUTLINE:

This one day workshop aims to give artists, from hobbyists to professionals, an overview of GOLDEN’s  products and their creative possibilities. Learning will be through demonstration, discussion and practical exercises designed to inspire your creativity using paint, gels, pastes and mediums to make four small art works. You will use traditional and subtractive techniques using open acrylics, play with fluid and airbrush acrylics in wet gels, and work with pastes, acrylic skins and digital grounds. You will also learn about using iridescent and interference paints and what part organic and inorganic pigments play in the mixing of clear, bright colour.
