Alison O’Donoghue shares her technique for creating a stacked and harmonious world within the bounds of an 11″x14″ wood panel. In this acrylics painting class, you’ll start with preparing a panel with gesso, then painting your birds and the spaces around them, working with layered washes and highlights before finishing your work with a varnish.
The first exercises are designed to help you find your "go-to" imagery and begin the process of creating patterns with simple shapes: people, animals and objects. Next you will build layers of acrylic paint (a black layer, the white imagery, then color washes and light highlights), and finish with Alison's method of varnishing her paintings for a beautiful finish.
