Creative Acrylic Layering and Glazing Techniques on Zoom by Fran Alexander
Wednesday April 14 6:30 - 9:30 pm and Saturday April 17 9:30 - 12:30 pm (Pacific Standard Time)
Using transparent and opaque acrylic paints, students will work on two small expressionistic paintings over a two half day period. I’ll be providing photo references, from which they’ll be taken through step-by-step instructions, building multiple layers of paint, removing paint, exploring mark making techniques, and color combination possibilities. Exploration is encouraged.
Day one: Exploring still life
Day two: Exploring landscape
Fran Alexander
After finishing a degree in Art Education from the University of British Columbia, Fran Alexander worked and travelled from the NWT, Ontario, Luxembourg, and eventually settling back in Vancouver.
Relentlessly exploring genres in hyper-realism and abstract expressionism, Alexander’s paintings began to solidify into a unique artistic vision: love of expressive mark making and imagery. Over the past several years, she has shown her paintings in respected galleries, and has received numerous awards.
Difficulty Level: Beginners and Intermediate
This workshop is geared for Beginner and Intermediate students, and exploration many of my techniques is encouraged. Beginner students should have a basic understanding of painting with acrylic paints. Should you have any questions, contact email her at paintedbyfran@gmail.com
