ACRYLICS | Barry & Lucy McCann
A CONSIDERED APPROACH IN ACRYLICS
All levels
Estimated material cost: $300*
Barry and Lucy will be teaching how to achieve an
oil-like look to your work using acrylic paint. Acrylic
paints are a great alternative to using oil paints and
they will show you the materials and equipment they
use and explain their method of approach and how
it evolved. The workshop will cover such topics as
preparation and planning (including drawing) and
the application of paint (including colour mixing
and keeping your acrylics workable) with emphasis
on observing, interpreting and recording the effect
of light. Their patience and individual attention will
guarantee an enjoyable
experience.
Both full time artists, Lucy
& Barry McCann are a
husband & wife team who
produce works largely
on a commission basis.
Their demonstrations,
teaching & judging skills are sought after by art societies and
groups throughout Australia & overseas. They have achieved
numerous prizes & awards with their work and are represented
in many private & corporate collections. They have appeared
on the TV series “Colour in your Life” and Barry has just
released a DVD series titled “My Acrylic Method”.
