Free acrylic painting lecture, demo offered

LIME ROCK >> A free acrylic painting lecture with a “Hands on Demo” to be held at the Trinity Gallery, Lime Rock, on Sunday, June 4 from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. This event is sponsored by the Golden Artist Colors, and artist Adria Arch from Boston will be doing the presentation. Arch, a painter and teacher whose work is included in the collections of the Boston Public Library, the DeCordova Museum, and the Fidelity Corporation.

The Golden Acrylic Lecture Demo is a fast-paced informative lecture covering a technical review of acrylics and their varied application possibilities. The lecture demo will present information on pigments, viscosities, gels, mediums and more.

Participants will learn how acrylics can be used as grounds for other media, such as watercolor or colored pencil; get key information on color mixing, blending and controlling drying time; and see how gels can be used to modify paint properties or how gels can create unique textural surfaces.

From traditional to contemporary to mixed media, acrylics are infinitely versatile. Artists of all levels can come away from this lecture demo with fresh new insights to feed their creative expression. Participants can also learn about Golden’s new oils and watercolors.
