Charles Harrington

Painting With Acrylics
October 18th - October 22nd, 2010, Boone, NC

This workshop will focus on the use of acrylics to gain the technical and aesthetic advantages offered by this versatile medium while retaining the aesthetics of traditional media such as watercolor and oils. The acrylic techniques presented can result in a finished painting that the casual observer can’t distinguish from watercolor; or they can result in a happy combination of transparent, translucent, and opaque applications possible only with acrylics. This versatility will convince you that acrylics are both attractive and practical as a painting medium applied to a variety of surfaces, including paper, canvas, and gesso primed panels.
