How to Use Metallic & Inteference Paints
 
Saturday, July 23, 2011, 10 AM - 2:30 PM.

Online Registration via Paypal. Register Button is near bottom of page.

If you are an artist...or an aspiring artist...this day in my studio is designed just for you!
You'll learn new techniques, rejuvenate your creative spirit and have lots of creative FUN.

I'll provide all supplies. Or you can bring what you like to use and experiment with mine.

I'll share acrylic paint, paper, and a wide variety of metallic and interference paints.
These paints can give wonderful effects, unlike anything else.

But if you don't know HOW to use them, you get less impact than ordinary colors.

"Cedar Moon" ©Ann Bell 2010

When I began this painting, I worked on top of a landscape
that was bland & boring. I was tired of looking at it.
I had a marvelous time creating my Mesmerizing Masterpiece. I just LOVE it!

What do you think? Do you want to bring your own landscape
painting & turn it into YOUR Mesmerizing Masterpiece?
You will have a 4 foot table to work on.

See MORE SAMPLES at bottom of page.

Cedar Moon, one of my newest painting, illustrates the captivating effects that can be created with metallic paint and inteference paint, used together,
but NOT mixed together.

The effect is mesmerizing. I will share my secrets & my techniques.

You can paint your own magical painting. 
A simple scene...from a dream or your imagination...can be your starting point.

Keep it simple and let the paint work its magic.

You'll leave with your own masterpiece.

This is NOT a class where everybody ends up with the same painting.

If you are a beginning painter...or you don't have any ideas...
I'll help you.

Once you start, you'll get so involved that you'll be in creative flow.

And you'll create your own Mesmerizing Masterpiece.

I'm looking forward to seeing it.

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Join me for a day of creative play. I will demonstrate at the beginning.
I'll answer questions & provide help as needed. You'll paint, experiment & learn.

Learn how to work metallic & interference pigments.

I think this treatment lends a magical effect to the work.
