Workshop Description
Painting Like Gustav Klimt is a workshop for the experienced acrylic painter as well as the beginner! Squirting fluid acrylics onto a surface and spreading it with a credit card produces beautiful streaks of color! Students will learn color combination that are no fail. Subjects are the student's choice, and Karen will be demonstrating contemporary figures and animals.
Students will get to doddle to our heart's content in the workshop. Good design will be emphasized and lots of tricks to make the detail work easier. We will have no trouble with the drawing, etc, because Karen has some easy painting and drawing tips, including the very popular "Wire Drawing"! this is done using permanent markers and the finished drawing looks like a wire sculpture. This is Karen's most popular technique and will add the finishing touches to our paintings. As a bonus, we will also be working with several different types of metallic special effects.
This workshop will be recorded, and it will be available to all students for one month after the workshop is over.
The workshop will run from 10:00 am until 4:00 pm, Central Time, and and we will have a one-hour break for lunch,
