My philosophy of teaching!
I thoroughly enjoy teaching and sharing my enthusiasm for this incredible medium, ACRYLIC. I have worked with acrylic for over 20 years, and with Golden's products for that same 20 years. Seventeen of them actually working for Golden Artist Colors, Inc. Acrylic excites me with all the possibilities, all the varied ways, you can take one single gel, and create so many varied options. I love the discovery of this, and the searching for another twist to it. I love the materiality of the material, and often I let it lead me into experimentation.
Sharing this excitement and discovery with artists who are open to making messes with a willingness to find beauty in that mess, is contagious.
I am not interested in teaching anyone "how to paint". There are so many great teachers that have that particular skill. I'm interested in opening doors for exploration, for the artist to get a peek inside the options and for that artist to take these discoveries home, and make paintings. - Patty Brady
Cutting-edge Acrylic Techniques!
In a hands-on, workshop style, Painterly Mixed Media with a Twist demonstrates the staggering range of this oh-so-versatile medium, capable of delicate transparent washes, lively impasto surfaces, and radical multi-dimensional effects. Acrylics are compatible with a wide range of materials, allowing for a virtual explosion of mixed-media artworks. There are more mediums, gels and grounds available for acrylics than for any other painting medium, affording you inexhaustible opportunities for applying pouring, brushing, scraping, squirting, swishing, rolling, flinging, sanding and what-have-you.
Discover everything you need to know to purchase, mix and work with acrylics successfully. From there, launch into chapter after chapter of possibilities: water media effects, creating texture with gels, subtractive techniques, collage and acrylic skins, acrylic transfers, and more.
