SUMMER
WEEK-LONG INTENSIVE
One of my most popular courses
Monday July 13 – Friday July 17, 2020
9:00am to 4:30pm
​​Haliburton School of Art + Design
Acrylics – Explore, Express, Experiment
The most versatile of all paint media, acrylics can do almost anything you want. 
      Through the magic of acrylic mediums you can change the appearance, behaviour and characteristics of acrylics in surprising ways, from pourable glazes to texturized and transparent impasto, layered encaustic-like effects to sculpted surfaces. 
      In this intensive, materials and process-based course, a variety of acrylic mediums, physical processes and techniques will be explored. These may include drip, scrape, scratch, scumble, tickle, pour, squeeze, sculpt, roll, collage, layer, making skins and embedding objects. You will also investigate tools – how to select, use and customize them, with particular emphasis on unconventional choices. Materials fee and list. 
      All levels and abilities are welcome (including advanced or pro), the only prerequisite is an open mind and an adventurous spirit.
2020 courses are not yet listed on their website.

WEEK-LONG INTENSIVE
Another popular course
Monday July 27 – Friday July 31, 2020
9:00am to 4:30pm
​​​Haliburton School of Art + Design
Acrylic Glazing & Encaustic Effects
​From the Old Masters to cutting-edge contemporary artists, the use of transparent paint glazes is a tradition that has come a long way. In this process and materials-based course you will learn the language of transparent colour in acrylics, how to mix and work with glazes, which mediums to use when, and the importance of dilution, sheen and thickness. 
      Glazing will be complemented with the rich surfaces and translucent depth of encaustic effects in acrylics. In structured exercises and your own creative explorations you will work with layering, blending, painterly marks, impasto surfaces and combine acrylics with other media to create depth and invite light into your paintings. Materials fee and list. 
      Suited to anyone interested in enriching their acrylic painting with mediums, focussing in-depth on transparency, translucency, texture, through glazing and encaustic-like effects, understanding their technical aspects and exploring their creative potentials. Also to students who have taken the other acrylics course.

2020 courses are not yet listed on their website.
