Loon in Water-Mixable Oil Paint and Sip

Description

Did you know black paint out of the tube alone can make a subject look flat and lifeless? Using a dark blue or dark purple in place of black is a striking effect and very beautiful. You’re likely to achieve more depth and much more interest. Now, look at that contrast against the orange sky!  Complimentary colors doing what they do best–making each other look great.

This year, during the Loon Festival, we are going to paint this loon design, like last year, but with twist. This loon sample was painted in acrylic, with a transparent, watery affect over permanent black line. We are going to do the same color scheme, the same loon, but with water-mixable oil paint. It doesn’t sound possible, but Winsor and Newton have a line of oil paint that is able to be diluted and washed with water, yet offers much of the same qualities as oil paint.When used thinned down, we can get transparent layers, but also the soft, buttery look so characteristic of oil paint.   One of the benefits of using water-mixable oil thinned down, is that it doesn’t take quite as long to dry as usual. But still plan to leave with a sticky painting. Keep it hanging on a wall out of reach until it is at least dry to the touch. Some of the painting will be thicker than other areas, and so some areas will dry sooner than others.   Ages 18+ for this class please!
