David will return from Calgary to teach an acrylic wildlife painting workshop. Whether you have always wanted to try acrylics but did not know where to start, or whether you have already been using this versatile medium and want to develop your skill, this is the workshop for you while working on a wildlife subject of your choosing. David will review fundamental skillsin drawing, design and painting and also introduce techniques that are specific to painting with acrylic. You will learn howto recognize the basic shapesthat make it easier to draw any subject, how to mix any color by using a few basic ones, how to achieve smooth gradaions, and how to creat optical texture by using David's signature method of applying transparent washes over opaque layers. You will need to bring your own wildlife reference material and remember, the better the reference, the better the painting.
