Kevin Greeland Workshop – Layering With Acrylics
Layering With Acrylics
January 16-17, 2016; 10am-4pm
$250 – Limit 12 students!
Learn the fundamentals of layering with acrylic paints and mediums in this hands-on workshop. We will work with a variety of color
applications using Golden's Fluid Acrylics, High Flow Acrylics, and OPEN Acrylics. We’ll even dabble with QoR Watercolors. Exploring
the possibilities through collage and painting with impasto effects, glazing, printmaking, water-media, and ink-like effects. Discover
how gels and pastes can be used to alter color properties, used to make multiple layers, make interesting textures. For example we
will create a faux metals painting using the various pastes, Glass Bead Gel and the Iridescent Fluids. Moving onto the gels we’ll
create several paintings using various gels to create multiple translucent layers and also work with glazing. We’ll do some collage
work and experiment with the Interference colors as well. One painting will incorporate collage, gel transfers and acrylic encaustic,
each student will get to create a few “skins” and we’ll digital print on at least one using digital ground. The idea is to leave with small
sample painting where each student had the opportunity to try various Golden products to see how they could fit into their current
painting practice or provide new ideas and insight. Students will make several small paintings using acrylic products provided by
Golden Paint with tools and materials provided by the instructor. All levels are welcome. Free literature packet and a free sample
bag of Golden products! Pack a lunch and bring your imagination. Class size limited to 12 students

•Students should bring the following items to the 1st class:
•Painting Surfaces: we will be creating a number of experimental sample boards so you need
to bring a selection of canvas board panels –they come in multi-packs - 6 x 8 inch at least 3
each and 8 x 10 inches again 3 each and 11 x14 at least 3.
(Fredrix, Cresent, Ampersand are just some of the brands and there are also many store brands
— you’ll need these small canvas boards for the first class).
• It’s also a good idea to have at least a basic paint set: red, yellow, blue, black and white.
•If you are planning on collaging, please bring some personal images and or papers to add to
your artwork. Some students find it helpful to have a sketchbook for note taking and idea
generation.
