Hi, everybody!
This Tuesday is our last class for this session of Amazing Acrylics. Thank you all for taking my class. I have enjoyed teaching you!
I have attached my favorite narrative art piece ever and by Norman Rockwell.
Narrative art tells a story so for our last project tell a story with your images and painting. It can be current events, personal, mythological or abstract.
1. As mentioned in class, we will be finishing up with a photo transfer(s) project. The first method uses the Chartpak Blender marker.
Please bring your Chartpak Blender (says Blender P-O (201) on the white part of the label) and photo copies from a place like OfficeMax.
Remember to flip your image for this process for it to transfer the right way. You do not have to flip the image for method number 2/below:
Miller's Blueprint, Jerry's Artarama and Asel Art carry the Chartpak Blender. Call ahead and have them hold one for you or at least make sure they have some in stock so you don't make a trip for nada.
2. The second method requires some prep work, prior to class. This uses the Acrylic Gloss Gel and here is what to do:
Coat your image (color or black and white copy station printout.) with a large foam brush with a thin layer of Acrylic gel medium. (Do it on freezer paper so it is not so messy. Repeat for 5 coats letting each coat dry in between. I alternate directions of stroke per layer- one layer vertical next layer horizontal and so on.
Let completely dry. Fill a bowl large enough to completely soak your image in with warm water and run the image between your fingers working the bits of paper off. You will need to change out the water when you have a lot of paper bits in it to complete the process. Let dry over night and pack flat to bring to class..
You can also bring anything you have not finished to class.Remember to pack your 11x14 Gessobords from Ampersand for the Blender Photo transfer.
Call me if you have any questions.
Happy Painting!
