Acrylic Painting: Glazing and Collage Techniques

Glazing techniques historically used with oil paints can be much more rapidly achieved in acrylic. It is also very easy to incorporate collaged elements. This course explores ways to include collage and how to apply glazes to painted and collaged areas. Starting with some experimental exercises, over the six weeks we will go on to create works with a variety of subject matter; still life, landscape, building or interior.

Please bring your own materials and equipment and scroll down to find details of what to bring.

Heavy weight mixed media paper and small offcuts of mount board will be available from the tutor at cost.
