Class 12B: Experimental Acrylics Carol Nelson

Acrylics are the only fine art medium in which there is seemingly no limit to the number of textural effects you can achieve. In this class will you will experiment with several different acrylic textures, with an emphasis on abstract design and collage. We will review materials that can be added to acrylic paint to create interesting and unique effects. You will be making your own collage papers and experimenting with different metal foils.
This class will include color theory and abstract design.  My "Grab Bag" painting method will take the mystery out of abstract composition.  With this technique, you can be working on several paintings simultaneously, each at a different level of completion, and still keep your head on! See Carol' Work at www.carolnelsonfineart.com.
All skill levels $74

  Remember, you must register

Bird Series, Chickadee - daily painting © Carol Nelson Fine Art


This little fluff of feathers is a chickadee. They live around my house all year long, even in the coldest winter months. Everything they do is fast. They dart in to the feeder to take one seed, then fly away with it to eat it. Their favorite food from my feeder is sunflower seeds.
I'm sure the name comes from their call which kind of sounds like they're saying "chick - a - dee - dee - dee".

=========================================

I've been working on the curriculum for a 10 week class I will be teaching in the fall for a Denver art group - the Park Hill Art Club. They want me to teach a class in acrylics. Once I started jotting down different topics to cover, I easily filled the page.
Acrylic paints lend themselves so well to abstract compositions. With all the different mediums, collage materials, textures, and techniques, we could go on for a long time.
