Class details
Explore ways of using your acrylics to mimic the lush buttery brushmarks and subtle glazing techniques of oil paint – combining all the benefits of a fast-drying paint with the painterly qualities of a traditional medium.
Looking at historic and contemporary oil-painters for inspiration and reference, we will explore ways to manipulate acrylics to create the rich effects of oil paint. Using various mediums we will bulk up the paint to make it thick and buttery, and conversely to make it transparent and subtle for glazing. We will look at surfaces to paint on, brushwork, and techniques borrowed from oil-painting tradition to create small still life studies.
We will finish with the use of varnishes to enrich colour & complete the look of an oil painting….all done with the convenience of a water-based paint!
Specific skills you will learn
- Brushwork & blending
- Impasto and glazing techniques
- Use of mediums and varnishes to mimic oil paint
All Ardington ONLINE classes and talks are accompanied by their own online class information page. Helpful and easy to use, these private pages enable students and tutors to share resources, ideas and photos with each other – before, during, and after class. The link to access the page will be shared via email in the days leading up to the class.
We suggest that you do not buy any specialist materials more than one week in advance as, occasionally, a class may be cancelled due to low enrolment. For full terms and conditions, please click here.
