Yesterday I attended a lecture about Golden brand acrylic paints given by Nancy Reyner at the Artisan Art Supply Store in Albuquerque. I am an oil painter, but I was curious as what I might be able to do with acrylics that I can not do with oils. It was fascinating, and the mediums and gels, and molding pastes definitely caught my attention. I also loved the iridescent acrylics! How fun are those?! I think I will have to experiment with some of the products a bit and see how they feel to work with. Perhaps a hands-on class in my future?
If you are thinking of trying acrylics I can not think of a few hours better spent than listening to this lecture. Nancy was fun - very informative, and the time just flew. Thanks to all who set the lecture up!
About Me
- Annette
- I am an artist and writer, with degrees in English and History. An east coast person all my life, I was transplanted to New Mexico in 2006, and was instantly enchanted by the fiery sunsets and equally fiery chile. I do primarily oil painting, and teach it to both classes and private students. Painting is a constant exploration for me -- an effort to create an emotion in the viewer, or to give visualization to a thought or emotion of mine and bring it to the viewer. Sometimes it works. Sometimes the process teaches me, and.. yes(laughing), sometimes it is just trash. But it is aways an adventure!
