Painting with Acrylics

DP1 Lesson 36:
Acrylic Painting Construction

In this lesson, we focus on the construction of an acrylic painting in layers. We learn how to use an underpainting and grisaille to help us realize a creative vision on canvas. We undertake a structured process of art making from idea development to creation that engages all the knowledge we have acquired in the course thus far in order to paint an original, fantastical landscape from our imagination. To inform our creative project, we view and organize a collection of fantastical landscape artworks from contemporary artists.
