Landscapes in Acrylics by Dale Byhre -
An in-person workshop at the South Delta Artist Guild Gallery.
Saturday and Sunday afternoons, 1 to 4 PM, May 7 ,8, 14, 15
Dale will provide students with a foundation in acrylic painting and share how he works with this medium. The focus will be on landscapes with a west coast theme. The course will be appropriate for beginning artists as well as those with experience in acrylics who want to elevate their work to a more polished or professional level. He will also present the pros and cons of using acrylics and the best methods for success.
Supplies: A selection of artist or student grade acrylics, brushes, mediums such as gel or retarders, and gesso. If you are using acrylics as your medium, ( some attending are choosing to paint in oils ) I can provide a basic list. Regardless, I am suggesting that those taking the class bring the paints and materials that they are most accustomed to using. That said, and this is strictly optional, I would recommend mostly a quality acrylic medium. I also might suggest acrylic gels to thicken and slow the paint from drying. A retarder of some kind will also be advisable. Not that it is at all necessary, as it is pricey, is an item called 'molding paste.' This is a very thick compound that I use as a surface to achieve a coarse texture under the overlaying paint. I sometimes also mix this into the paints for thick impasto textures.
