Advanced Acrylic Techniques with Evan Woodruffe
Event description
Acrylic paints are the most versatile colour for the artist today. They are available as a fast-drying paste, a slow drying soft body colour, as a creamy fluid or vivid ink, so can be easily adapted to an incredibly wide range of techniques and approaches.
In this exciting hands-on workshop, your tutor Evan Woodruffe shows how to combine different acrylic paints to play with surface depth, control and lack of it, and how to counterpoint tone, chroma, and hue to maximum effect. Students will try a wide array of brushes and pens to explore the mark-making possibilities each type of acrylic has, from rhythmic patterns (e.g. grass, hair), to modulation and graduation.
With plenty of art historical examples, colour theory, and good humour, this workshop presents modern acrylic painting as a dynamic and flexible colour system with almost infinite possible positions.
Evan Woodruffe is well respected for his in depth technical knowledge, with over 30 years’ experience of professionally researching artists’ materials. Evan has his MFA (1st Class Honours) from Elam, University of Auckland, and an extensive exhibition history across the Asia-Pacific region.

A Note about Covid vaccination certificates:
As we all know, the change to the Covid Protection Framework - AKA: The Traffic Light System, means that rules for events have changed a bit too. As our workshops are ticketed they are deemed to be events, that means that under the current covid level RED - vaccine passports will be required for everyone in attendance on the day.
We know that this may disappoint some people and for that we wish things were different, but we are simply following the rules that the government have set out for events like this. If you would like to read the government guidelines for events, they can be found HERE.
