Please join Colleen Cavin for a repeat of that smelly workshop offered several years ago using alkyd paints. We will use PVA, gouache and those odoriferous paints on paper to build up layers of letters and glaze that differ in appearance to that of acrylic glazing. Alkyd paints are fast drying oil paints thinned with mineral spirits, so be forewarned. We will be working in a well-ventilated covered outdoor area when working with alkyd paints. The cost of all alkyd paints will be included with workshop fee. Each of us will build up a few pieces of calligraphic depth and sumptuousness.
Supplies: Bring favorite pens, paint brushes, gouache, waterproof inks, stout papers and words. An apron is highly recommended.
