Uncover the secrets to keep your acrylics wet and useable!

- Barry Mccann’s December/january Artists’ Newsletter

Painting a representa­tional subject using the medium of acrylics is generally avoided because of how fast the paints dry. This fast-drying medium usually doesn’t allow enough time to mix and apply the correct tone on the canvas and it seems near impossible to blend areas or make them appear to those soft edges that are so typically seen in an oil painting. I would like to share with you how I get around these obstacles in my DVD My Acrylic Method. My DVD not only shows you the ways I keep my paint and mixes wet and useable throughout the painting process, but how I choose a subject, design the painting, my equipment, drawing and colour mixing tips. It is an “over my shoulder” look at how I create a gallery piece over several days in the studio from concept through to presentati­on.

“This DVD set is not just a demonstrat­ion; it is more like a workshop you can do in your own environmen­t at a time that suits you.”
