Cheryl Long will be demonstrating Painting Birds with Acrylics and Texture Mediums this Friday, April 2nd, at a FREE Demo 3:30pm to 6pm at the Seattle DANIEL SMITH Store.
"The beauty of acrylics is their ultimate versatility". Cheryl will show how to start..."a painting using acrylic in a transparent way, and completing it with acrylic and gel mediums to achieve texture". Cheryl will also talk about: "Breaking the fear and apprehension barrier of white paper can be a life changing experience. Learning to trade anxiety and apprehension for fun and relaxation while painting is worth an hour any day. The take away is part technical, and part emotional."
"Most people love birds. They take us out of ourselves and for a moment we sail in the air with them. Owls are especially mysterious, with centuries of lore surrounding them. I encourage people to paint subjects that they find intensely interesting. After years of instructing students, I am amazed at the jump in their ability when they choose a subject that really does it for them."
"I will talk about the value of art as a way to relax and enjoy our lives. Along the way you will see Daniel Smith Acrylics used transparently to initiate a painting and then with more body and specific texture to describe feathers and bark. A few Daniel Smith colors that will be used in the demo include a palette of Quinacrindone Burnt Orange, Alizarin Crimson, Thalo Blue (RS) Burnt Sienna, Quin Gold, Cerulean Blue, Nickle Azo Yellow, Titanium White. I will be painting with Daniel Smith Platinum Series 23 Synthetic Multi-Media Brushes....on 300# Cold Press Richeson Watercolor Paper."
