Description
Mixed Media: Experimental Materials - Oil & Acrylic / Level 2
Instructor: Marat Paransky
This painting class will explore the intersection between oil/acrylic painting and experimental materials and actions. There will be technical instruction through demos, discussion of examples in books and slide shows, and studio time to work on the projects. Topics will include: mounting materials, marks and stains, unusual supports, text in paintings, found images, and automatic drawing. Students will need to have traditional painting supplies, as well as a handful of other basic supplies for the first class.
Prerequisite: Students need to have some painting experience before taking this class.
