FRESH PAINT: Free Lecture and Demo of New Golden Acrylic Paints, Gels and Digital Grounds
This Lecture will explore a multitude of new surfaces for painting and collage. We will deal with Golden’s Glass Bead Gel, Translucent Molding Pastes, Fiber Paste (paper in a jar), Crackle Paste, and more... We will cover mixed media application and layering effects for drawing and painting. This will include using unique metallic paints, stencils and more.
We'll cover the new digital grounds that allow transferring your digital images onto a multitude of flat surfaces: non-porous papers, acetate, acrylic skins, even aluminum foil. We will also cover some of the technical challenges of working with inkjet printers and explore ideas for incorporating these digital images in paintings and works on paper.
The rest of the lecture will be an introduction to the New Golden OPEN Acrylics and their use. These paints have an extended working time that can give painters much more control of blending and overall manipulation to achieve wonderful controlled effects. They can be used alone or in combination with existing Heavy Body, Fluid Acrylics, their mediums, gels and additives.
These options give painters a truly comprehensive system of Paints.
A packet of literature and free samples of paints and gels will be available for all those who attend this Free gathering on March 13th from 11am-1pm at Sam Flax Atlanta.
