the next skin: acrylic with instructor Barbara DePirro
July 28 - 31 (Frye Art Museum in Seattle)
Discover the range of acrylic grounds, gels and mediums that can be used to create image transfers and gel skins. Learn how to create image transfer skins, painted skins and how to transfer images directly into the surface of your art. These techniques are an excellent way to develop translucent imagery, text and texture, incorporating layers into your paintings, collages or book arts. Thinking beyond the flat surface, many of these same methods can also be used to develop sculptural and 3 dimensional art works. Most materials are provided.
