This course will take a fun and informal look at painting in translucencies in acrylic. It will teach students practical and satisfying techniques of layering acrylic paint to produce intense, lustrous finishes that mimic those of traditional oil painting, without the drying times.

Day one will consist of talks, demonstrations and experimentation. Students will conduct several experiments to give them a hands on understanding of opaque vs translucent pigments, optical mixing of colours and how varnishing can reinvigorate a painting that has gone dull and flat as it has dried.

Day two will allow students a chance to apply some of the new knowledge by painting a still life set up and come away with a finished piece.

If you have ever struggled with acrylic paintings that have a chalky and dull finish and would like to unlock a lively new dimension of painting this course is for you.
