About Today’s workshop – Sgraffito
Literally meaning scratch, sgraffito is a painting technique where the artist scratches the top layer of paint, while still wet, to reveal a bottom layer of a different color.
The background needs to be completely dry before you can start applying to top layer. To keep the acrylic paint of the top layer wet long enough to finish the sgraffito, you may add a retarder medium.
To obtain the sgraffito effect, you can use a variety of tools, like the edge of a painting knife, the tip of a brush handle, a wire brush, or any sharp tool that serves the purpose.
This event is limited to a maximum of 10 people per session to ensure a calm atmosphere and optimal guidance.

Instead, Rolando will show you techniques and tricks and encourage you to paint intuitively and freely.
