Golden Open Acrylic Portraits–Refining and Finishing
with Pamela Edevold

CLASS IS FULL
Dates/Times:
Friday, September 23
5 PM – 9 PM
Saturday, September 24
10 AM – 4 PM
Sunday, September 25
11 AM – 5 PM
Location: Bagley Public Library
Cost: $100
Limit: 12 Students

The first day of this workshop will review the process of acrylic portraits on watercolor paper,
with everyone working from the same image provided by the instructor so that students who
haven’t taken Pamela’s class before will learn the steps, and those who have will sharpen their skills. On days two and three students who want to continue with the first day’s painting may do so or start a new one from their own photo. Those who have taken Pamela’s previous class can start a new one or bring a painting from their own photos that is in progress. The focus will then
be on bringing the painting to a finish–refining edges, heightening color, playing with
backgrounds, and detail work. Which details should be enhanced, which subdued or
eliminated? It’s the little tweaks that make all the difference, and when is a painting done?

Golden Open Acrylic paints will be provided, and watercolor paper will be available for purchase if you don’t already have it. A list of supplies similar to that of a watercolor class will be sent for students to bring, along with their own lunches and beverages.

David will be teaching you watercolor from beginning to end; starting with teaching you how to take total control of the watercolor medium, leading to using that control of the medium to create well-composed watercolors. Subject matter will be changing daily with photo references supplied to you weeks before the workshop. David’s teaching method takes all students on a paint-a-long style of teaching. This class is designed to benefit all levels of painters. Teaching students to conquer the medium of watercolor is David’s goal and he takes great pride in making sure every student leaves with the ability to control the paint.
