Impasto painting is a technique in which thick, textured paint is applied to a canvas or other surface, creating a three-dimensional effect. Artists use a variety of tools and techniques to apply the paint, such as palette knives, brushes, or even their fingers. Impasto paintings often have a strong sense of movement and energy, as the thick layers of paint create a sense of depth and dimensionality. This technique has been used by many famous artists, including Vincent van Gogh and Willem de Kooning, and remains popular among contemporary artists today!
I am so excited to be offering this class, which blends sculpture techniques with chunky, thick paint to create these wonderfully dimensional and aesthetically pleasing creations. You will learn the blending techniques for creating wonderfully varied colors and mixing methods, using acrylic paints and mediums, and creating with the amazing textured paint we will be using. You’ll have your choice of substrates, canvases and boards to create multiple pieces.
What you’re getting:
- A lesson in color theory, with particular attention to learning color blending.
- Discovering applications for acrylic mediums.
- Assorted substrates, types and sizes, to choose from.
- Lengthy instructional time, so you can learn the techniques and use them later!
- Support in mastering the process.
- Small, intimate class sizes.
- Differentiated learning, suited to your needs.
- A guaranteed stress-free learning experience!
Please note: Painted surfaces will be wet for 3-8 days following the class. You will need to bring a box to class to carry your work home, and refrain from touching it for several days. Once dry, the surface is quite sturdy, lightfast, and permanent, and can be wiped down with a damp cloth, dusted, and even touched regularly with no issues. Acrylic paint is made of plastic polymer and is very permanent and staining when wet. Please consider bringing an apron to class to protect your clothing!
This class is BYOB, and drinking, (or eating, if you’d like to bring snacks), are always options!
I am dedicated to offering stress free, stress reducing art classes that are fun, no matter what your art experience may be!
While you go at your own rate in all my classes, this tends to be a process class of medium to high intensity.
*As with all Ruthi Makes classes, no previous experience in art or special talents are necessary!*
