ABOUT THE WORKSHOPUsing acrylic paints on a black surface, either black gessoed Canvas or watercolor paper painted with black acrylic, build a beautiful range of value contrasts, running the gamut from white to black and mid-values in between. Bring reference photos oof any subject you wish, as long as it has darks and lights. I will be using a landscape with mountain stream. We will go over mixing paints, testing the values and application, with both brushes and old gift or credit cards as paint applicators.
