WORKSHOPS


YOUR TUTOR
Acrylic dries fast, which can
lead to many unwanted
hard edges in your pictures.
Professional artist, tutor
and contributor to The Artist,
Paul Talbot-Greaveswill
show you how to blend and fuse colour to
create evocative soft edges that will transform
your landscape painting. These can be
contrasted with harder edges and thicker,
opaque applications later on in the painting. Using FW Artists’ Acrylic Inks
to create flow, you will be shown techniques first to generate softly blended
colours, before progressing on to applications of thicker colour using System
3 Acrylics. These will sharpen up your painting, add opacity and involve
sculptural, expressive brushmarks. The morning session will run from
10am to 1pm and the afternoon session from 2pm to 5pm.
