Virtual Acrylic Painting Classes

April 21 to May 29, 2021

ERIC HOTZ: ART CLASSES AT LANGLEY ARTS COUNCIL ​

I created an acrylic painting for my class on a black canvas rather than a white canvas and then ran a demo of how to re-create this painting. Starting with a black canvas gives advantages such as working with shadows by applying thin layers of paint that allows the black canvas to show through and then creating highlights by applying heavy subsequent layers of paint. Painting like this allows for a fast rendering, which fit nicely into the 2-hour class. The canvas size was 11x14-inches vs the 16x20-inch paintings that we have been using previously, which also allowed for faster painting time and allows the student to paint their canvases without the need of a easel.

Social distancing is important to maintain for student safety. Mask wearing is mandatory.

Step one, start by sketching in the basic elements.

The start of the day's painting by roughing in the main elements. Painting is always rewarding.

This painting gives students a different experience with acrylic painting.

Students bring their own paints and brushes to class. I do provide some brushes, paints, and pallet plates.

The master painting and the demonstration is within easy view. Questions are always welcomed.

The room suddenly became quiet as everyone worked away on their paintings.
