Join acrylic artist Derric van Rensburg for this 2-3 hour workshop. Filmed live from Cape Town, South Africa on 4th May 2021.
This workshop will focus on painting African antelope at a waterhole in acrylic paint but in a sketch like / watercolour inspired technique. It will also include an in-depth tutorial on colour mixing and tonal values.
See reference and recommended materials below:
**Preparation: Using a varnishing brush, apply a white primer to the canvas (quite haphazardly) and allow to dry. The use of a varnishing brush sets the scene for a textured outcome.
