Chroma is excited to have a new video on its website, Bigger and Bolder Watercolors with Atelier Interactive, found at the Chroma Media Library.
In this 2-part video, Chroma Teaching Artist Barry Sholder demonstrates his method of creating vibrant “watercolor” paintings using Interactive on full sheets of watercolor paper. Bigger and Bolder painting is an Impressionistic style of painting that incorporates very wet paper surfaces and the brilliant characteristics of Interactive’s line of artist acrylics and mediums. Materials and their use are explained, as well as simple compositional concepts that are easy to understand and executed, to produce beautifully vibrant paintings much like a watercolor … only using acrylics. Perfect for beginners to professional artists who want to explore a new technique, Barry gives step-by-step instructions on how to achieve beautiful, transparent watercolor effects. We encourage you to check out this video and to tell your acrylic and watercolor customers about it. If you have any questions about Barry’s techniques or wish to schedule a free “Bigger and Bolder” workshop in your store, please contact Kathryn Betz at kbetz@chromaonline.com. If you would like a copy of this video on a DVD to play at your store, please contact Celia Weber at cweber@chromaonline.com.
