pAINTING WITH Acrylics

DP1 Lesson 35:
Value and Color with Acrylics

In this lesson, we delve more deeply into acrylic painting techniques and learn how to blend color to create value and render naturalistic form. We practice these techniques in an autobiographical still life painting that will function as a time capsule for our future, older self. For inspiration, we view autobiographical still life paintings from artists of the past.
