April 02, 2021
Description
Let’s explore the colours of spring, like you’ve never seen them before!
Many artists are at a loss when it comes to using acrylic metallic and interference colors effectively. By combining Amsterdam® Acrylic standard colors with the line’s Pearl & Metallic specialty shades on a toned canvas, you can achieve a variety of marvelous outcomes. In this demo, we will apply these fantastic outcomes to depicting the many flora and fauna of spring. Join Jeff Olson, Art Education Director for Royal Talens North America, as he shares some of the history, working properties and techniques for these marvellous paints.
