Join internationally renowned artist Derric van Rensburg, for this Special Arty Class. Filmed live from South Africa on 25th Feb 2021.
Watch this Arty Class Special:
This Special acrylic Arty Class will focus on a simple landscape forest and will teach you how to not "over-think"! The texture and tonal value of trees and foliage will be the focus with a hint of sky filtering through.
You will learn how to apply a brush texture very simply to a canvas and use brushes as tools to create texture and atmosphere.
See Reference photo and recommended materials below:
Suggested preparation: Using a varnishing brush, apply a soft colour (such as oche/ yellow mixed with white) to the canvas and allow to dry. The use of a varnishing brush sets the scene for a textured outcome.
