ZOOM ATTENDANCE

Crash Course 2 / Water-based Paints: Acrylics, Watercolor, and more

July 25th, 11 am - 2 pm EST (NYC time)

The world of acrylics can be confusing becasue there are so many options. We’ll go over the vocabulary of acrylic mediums: pigment absorption, dilution ratios, flexibility, consolidation, gloss, viscosity. Watercolor and other water-based binders will also be discussed. Making paints into watercolors is a fairly straight-forward method that requires attention to the character of each pigment to get it right.

Crash Courses are demonstration-based discussions (not hands-on) that aim to demystify the use of pigments and raw materials. Each Crash Course focuses on a specific paint application. We explain how different types of pigments behave in each recipe. Crash Courses do not have to be taken in order. No prior experience with pigments is necessary. CRASH COURSES ARE OFFERED IN PERSON AND ON ZOOM. If you are signing up, be careful to choose the appropriate one for you.

*We recommend taking notes!

*All attendees (in person and Zoom) will be able to rewatch the archived video of the class for 2 weeks.
