Acrylic Painting Studio - Using Personal Imagery with Staci Swider - DVD
Make your paintings more personal!
In Acrylic Painting Studio: Using Personal Imagery, Staci Swider shows you, and student Amy Jones, how to incorporate personal designs directly into your artwork with the use of monoprinting and collage. Using a fish design and a heron, she demonstrates drawing symbols onto your underpainting using a squeeze bottle of paint, then pulling prints.
Staci then guides you through the process of collaging the monoprinting drawing back into the painting - in this instance, the fish print is collaged into the body of the heron. As Staci demonstrates her ways for painting the heron and the background, you'll get her tips for integrating the collaged paper, creating a unified composition, and adding finishing touches with pops of oil pastel.
