Amsterdam Acrylics offer artists a versatile range of properties ideal for exploring a wide variety of painting and color techniques. This flexibility expands even further with the addition of specialty pigments like metallic and pearl colors—materials that often remain a mystery to many artists.
Join Royal Talens Art Education Director Jeff Olson for a deep dive into the unique characteristics and creative potential of these specialty pigments. Discover how Amsterdam® Pearl & Metallic Specialty Acrylics can be blended with traditional acrylics to create rich, layered, and sophisticated color effects.
Topics will include:
• Acrylic History, Composition and Working Properties
• Introduction to Specialty Pigments
• Color Mixing – Creating secondary colors using specialty pigments
• Free Sample for all participants!
Jeff is the Art Education Director for Royal Talens North America. He holds a BA and MFA in painting and drawing. He has more than a decade of college and university teaching experience in studio art, and more than twenty years in the art material industry with product expertise in a variety of mediums; Olson’s lectures deliver meaningful insights into the history, development, and application of artists’ materials.
