Acrylics & Mixed Media: Colorful Intersections

Acrylics & Mixed Media 

This workshop is a masterclass where you can learn so much about how to create balance through composition, color’s value, marks and textures so at the end you achieve  a harmonious painting. 

Do you want to paint in an abstract style but haven’t got a clue how to begin? Where can you find ideas for great composition?   

Ana Paz will guide you through creating an abstract painting from beginning to end.

We will start with simple shapes and colors but slowly we will build up layers where washes of overlapping transparencies and intersections of color will create new and exciting hues. You can also choose to add a discrete touch of golden leaf.

What you’ll learn 

1. How to create different shapes with a beautiful texture
2. Building up layers so you can create depth 
3. How to create depth using light and shadows
4. Different mixed media techniques so you can fill up your shapes with interesting marks
5. How to play with the transparency in order to achieve a 3D effect
6. How to create different textures so your painting looks rich but not overwhelming
7. How to choose the perfect color combination so you have a nice, balanced contrast 
8. How and where to add golden leaf
